text: I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease Intolerance to Gluten in December of and the first thought that came to mind was Oh no how can I receive the Holy Eucharist St Francis of Assisi has gluten free hosts I was so happy to hear that because let us be honest during cold and flu season we are hesitant to receive the wine Talk to the sacristan about minutes before mass tell them you need a gluten free host The thing is is that you must receive it from the priest because the Eucharistic ministers do not carry it and you must sit on the right hand side of the church to ensure you get the priest Nice parish nice people and gluten free hosts are a win win in my book
