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

WE ARE IN NEED OF VOLUNTEER TEACHERS!

The youth group is not one dimensional. We

are not just about a trip at the end of the year.

We do many things. The most important part

of the youth group is the meetings we have

every Wednesday night from 7-8. These meet-

ings are not an extension of religious educa-

tion.They are not a bible study. We come to-

gether and discuss a variety of topics. The

every day stuff. What we try to do is help each other understand

the power we have to do so much good in this world. Each person

is free to express their thoughts without judgement. We come to

realize the importance of listening to one another and having a

conversation and through that conversation come to some kind of

consensus. Yes we do try to realize the Gospels are present during

these conversations. This is done in away to help all of us realize

something so simple yet so profound. We are all equal in the eyes

of God. When we come to understand this is not up to me to de-

cide. I am not the judge and jury of that. I, just like you need

someone or many people to remind me and continue to help me

understand we are equal in the eyes of God.

their balance in full before the end of the year. If you wish to make a

additional funds received is returned for use in our Parish.

thousands of other parishioners throughout the Archdiocese, each

Archdiocese to provide ministries and services. 51 ministries serving

288 parishes. This is our Church.
