<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have been going to share my experience with communion with the list hoping that it might help someone who was in my situation. Since the question has come up today through the list, I am going to respond to the list hoping it will help others, also. I am a Catholic and found it very depressing that I might never receive communion again (I was diagnosed 9 months ago). I struggled over it for a while and then met with the priest. He was absolutely wonderful. He called the Bishop's office and they were aware of the disease and had no problem with my priest working out something so I could receive communion. This is the procedure we now follow: I make a GF unleavened bread. I cut it in appropriate sizes and freeze each piece separately. When going to church, I take one out and place it in a small paper container (like those a nurse would use in dispensing your medicine in a hospital). When I go into church, the priest takes it and places it in the communion dish. He watched where I sit and then at communion time, he sees that he distributes communion in the section I am seated. I, in turn, change sections each Sunday so he also can vary his distribution. He was eager to help me and figured out the procedure so it would work. He in no way believes it will not be equal to the regular communion hosts. That sounds like someone is hung up on some "old" beliefs that don't make a lot of sense for the loving God that we know. I hope this helps someone. If anyone wants the recipe shared, please e-mail me privately. Sharon in Kansas "Smile--it's contagious"
