RECEIVING HOLY COMMUNION IN THE AGE OF THE "CORONA VIRUS" AND DURING THE FLU SEASON

Description

If intinction is maintained, then please consider moving to option (B) above: “It should be noted that some congregations practice a form of intinction in which the communicant holds the host in the palm of the hand and the Eucharistic Minister takes the host, dips it slightly in the wine and then places it on the person's tongue.” In this case the Eucharistic Ministers should sanitize their hands before and after administering the Sacrament to God’s people.  If one is sick or concerned, he/she should just receive the bread when taking the Sacrament and forego the cup altogether. The Sacrament’s validity and efficacy is total.
