MAKING OUR HOLY COMMUNION: We have returned to receiving  
Communion, not in a single line, but by forming a row at the altar step. A  
sidesman will stand at the front of the nave aisle directing you.  
  
The Host may be placed either directly into your mouth or into your  
cupped hands. When you are given the Precious Blood please guide the  
base of the chalice with your fingers so that the chalice trips easily and  
safely for the administration.  
  
For safety and cleanliness, intinction, dipping the Host in the Precious Blood, 
is not practised in All Saints. 
  
Some people for reasons of personal piety and habit, or for health reasons  
choose to receive the Host only and refrain from the Precious Blood. This  
was enforced for all during the period of the pandemic as a precaution. It  
is now known that the virus was aerosol and it is very unlikely that it could  
be spread in alcohol or be held on the surface of a precious metal such as  
silver of gold. This information is given for your consideration. 
  
FIRST COMMUNION CLASSES continue on Saturdays at 12 noon for  
children aged 8 and over.
