SWINE FLU:
The Diocese have sent us some guidelines regarding the distribution of Holy Communion:
As the chalices are metal and the wine contains alcohol it is thought that there is little risk – taking Communion from the chalice remains a personal decision.
Communion received on the hand presents no risk, but by mouth could put both you and other communicants at risk.
