As Catholics we believe that Jesus "is truly present" in the Most Precious Body and Blood of Christ.
The bread and wine become the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus.
Low-Gluten Hosts
We have low-gluten hosts available at all Our Lady of The Angels Masses for those who require it.
Our Parish uses the host with the lowest gluten currently available with .002 % (< 20ppm) gluten.
Low- Gluten Procedure at Mass
To receive a low gluten host at any of our Masses, please just request a low gluten host
from the Priest, Deacon or Extraordinary Minister as you approach the altar for Communion.
A separate , clearly labeled low-gluten ciboria is brought to the altar for all Masses and anyone wishing to receive a low gluten host
will take one directly from the vessel, so there is no possible cross-contamination from those Clergy or Minsters
who have been handling other traditional hosts that have gluten in them.
If you have further questions, please contact our main office at (781) 826-4303.
Holy Communion for the Sick & Homebound
For Parishioners in the Hanover, Pembroke and Norwell area who cannot attend Mass due to illness or physical incapacity,
we have Extraordinary Ministers who can bring Holy Communion to you periodically.
Please call the parish office at (781) 826-4303 for more information.
