Should an EM be given communion under both kinds prior to distribution of communion to the congregation by means of the host alone? Pax CARLO

I would think Carlo that it is up to the Celebrant. Don't think it would be an offence on his part whichever way he chooses. Unless of course there is some Vatican statement somewhere about such a situation. PJD |

Carlo, our Bishop has us give communion in both forms to EMHC and Lectors, if they wish. He is the boss |

Is there not a rule book somewhere? If not no real problem really- Break a rule and so made to stand in the confessional naughty corner. |

Carlo have you looked at the appropriate documents in the Forum Reference Library? You might find a rule in there. Whatever answers we laity give could be wrong! |

Haven't looked yet Rose - might do so. Was wondering whether Penfold might know? I don't have a problem about it - just curious. Pax CARLO

Deacon Robert has given a good answer and I see no reason to add to it. |

In our parish such an issue would not arise. All receive communion under both kinds as instructed by Our Lord. For rule book consult: Gospel of Mark, Gospel of Matthew, Gospel of Luke, and Letter to Corinthians. Gerry |

This doesn't happen in the two parishes I am most familar with. Only on special occasions which seem less frequent these days. Thanks for your response Penfold. Veritas Truth CARLO
