Holy Eucharist

Holy Communion is offered when clergy are present. You will be able to receive the consecrated wine by intinction only, in addition to the consecrated bread (wafer). 
​
​
Following the Bishop’s instructions Clergy will offer the consecrated wine in this manner.  They will sanitize their hands and the consecrate the bread and wine. As each of you comes forward to receive communion, they will ask you if you wish to have the bread dipped into the wine (what is called intinction.)  If you agree they will dip the wafer for you and place it in your palm.  If you do not wish to have it dipped in the wine, you can receive the bread alone.  At present only wine is to be consecrated; those of you who were used to receiving consecrated juice should decline and only receive the bread.

Events Calendar

General Convention approved resolution 2022-B004, “Foundation of Religious Life Sunday,” to be held each year on the 3rd Sunday of Epiphany. This Sunday focuses our efforts to tell all Episcopalians that monastic and Christian Communities exist, who we are, and how to find out what we offer to the people of the church. Check the website for free video and printed materials to share at your parish's coffee hour or worship. Go to www.caroa.net to learn more about religious communities in the Episcopal Church.
