Holy Communion for Gluten-intolerant: I want to remind our parish family about the availability of low gluten Holy Communion. Only one of two types (low gluten verses non-gluten) of alternative wafers is approved by the Catholic Church. In 2004 two nuns, Sisters Jane Heschmeyer and Lynn Marie D’Souza, of the Benedictine convent in Clyde, Missouri, developed a Communion wafer that has been approved as valid material for the Eucharist by the Holy See. While it is not completely gluten free, it is low gluten and is offered by the Church. Click to read more...

The Obama Administration would have you believe that by opposing the federal health care insurance mandate, the Catholic Church is opposed to woman’s health care. This could not be further from the truth! In fact, the Church is the largest private provider of health care for women and their children in the United States.

The Obama Administration has left many questions unanswered regarding the federal health care insurance mandate....Please contact the offices of your State Representative and State Senators to express your opposition to the mandate.
