RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION IN THE AGE OF THE "CORONA VIRUS" AND DURING THE FLU SEASON
Description
As Bishop, I am increasingly concerned that receiving the Sacrament by intinction when the communicant dips the bread themselves into the cup of wine, is the least sanitary means of receiving Holy Communion. I think we should begin stopping the practice of option (A) for sanitary reasons. In the age of the “Coronavirus” and the flu season, I urge clergy and parishioners to rethink intinction by parishioners themselves. Our hands are often very unclean and many hands dipping into a common cup is less sanitary than a simple sip from a common cup.
