Extremely Low-Gluten Hosts:
Over the years we have provided extremely low-gluten hosts for
parishioners who are gluten intolerant or have Celiac disease.
These special hosts are made by a group of Benedictine sisters in
the mid-west.
"The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde,
Missouri, have made Vatican-approved, low-gluten altar breads
since 2004. These breads have been tested by independent
laboratories and deemed safe for use for most people with Celiac
Sprue Disease.
The Benedictine Sisters are the largest religious producers of altar
breads in the United States, making almost 9 million hosts each
month. The low-gluten breads are produced in a separate facility
in order to prevent cross-contamination. The low gluten breads
are made from water and wheat starch that has had most of the
gluten removed.
In 2004, Dr. Alessio Fasano, director of the Center for Celiac
Research at the University of Maryland, maintained that the
amount of gluten contained in one of our low-gluten altar breads
(tested at <.01%) was so minute a celiac sufferer would have to
consume 270 wafers daily in order to reach the danger point. A
test done in 2016 indicated the gluten content was less
than .001%.”
If you are gluten intolerant, or have Celiac Sprue disease, at every
Mass the priest will hold a small container with the extremely low
-gluten hosts in it. If you choose, as you approach the priest
during Communion simply let him know you need the low-gluten
host. You can come up at any point during the distribution of
Holy Communion. In other words, you don’t need to be first or
last in line. You can sit wherever you are comfortable, and simply
come forward when it is your row / pew's turn to receive.
Any questions or suggestions about the above, please see Father
Michael.

but also have made a gift or pledge to the 2019 Catholic Appeal. On
behalf of those who will be served by your contributions, Thank You!.
Those who made a pledge to the Catholic Appeal are reminded to pay
their balance in full before the end of the year. If you wish to make a
payment towards your pledge online, visit
www.bostoncalholicappeal.org. If you have any questions about your
pledge or payments, please call the Catholic Appeal Office at 617-779

For those of you who have not had an opportunity to make a pledge
or a gift this year but wish to support the ministries and services
funded by the Catholic Appeal, please pick up an envelope at the back
of the church or pledge online at www.bostoncatholicappeal.org .
Remember that when our Parish exceeds its goal, a percentage of any
additional funds received is returned for use in our Parish.

thousands of other parishioners throughout the Archdiocese, each
contributor makes a very real difference in the ability of the
Archdiocese to provide ministries and services. 51 ministries serving
288 parishes. This is our Church.
Thank you again for your support.
