Communion from the chalice
Communion from the chalice
Our bishops have permitted Communion from the Chalice at Mass to resume from the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Maundy Thursday. Bishop Ralph has sent us two documents, originating in the Northampton Diocese, for us to use in preparation for the reintroduction. We have reformatted these but left the content unchanged. One (‘The Eucharist makes the Church’) is an overview of the Mass, the other (‘Take this and drink’) is specifically about Communion from the Chalice. Please read them both.
