I am going through adult confirmation & communion on
the Sat. before Easter. Yesterday, I found out that
part of the regular communion ceremony is that the
priest breaks off a piece of a communion host &
drops it into the wine that everyone receives. This is
done as a symbol of unity. Apparently, it is quite common.

Tentatively, I am going to bring a small piece of my
GF bread to receive for communion. They have told me
that this will be OK. I have talked to my instructor
about it, she had never heard of anything like
Celiac Disease. I had thought it would be fine for
me to have a sip of the wine until I found out about
this dropping of host into the wine. Any opinions on
this? I've been waiting for so long to take
communion & I am worried about also not getting sick
afterward.

Thanks for any help you can give.
