Invitation to Communion

Presider Behold what you are.

People May we become what we receive.

A Note about Holy Communion

Following Diocesan guidelines, please refrain from intinction (dipping the Bread into the Chalice). If you wish to abstain from receiving from the Chalice, remember that the Church catholic has always taught that the fullness of the Sacrament is received even when only one form is received.

If you require a Gluten-Free host, please indicate to the Brother administering Bread at Holy Communion if that is your preference.

Prayer after Communion

Presider God of life, People bring us to the glory of the resurrection promised in this Easter sacrament.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the risen Lord. Amen.
