Anything Goes: Pick Up Your Communion In A Match Box

Stans parish, Central Switzerland, offers in its three churches take-away Communion.

The hosts are wrapped in white, self-made match boxes. A handwritten sign says: “Consecrated hosts to take away for Home-Communion.” During 90 minutes people may pick up one or more boxes.

A woman told the bishops' Kath.ch that she and her parents consume take-way Holy Communion while watching broadcasted Masses.

On Holy Saturday about 70 boxes were taken, and some more on Easter Sunday. The local Chur diocese plays along.

Considering the state of the "once" Holy catholic and apostolic church is it any wonder that this has occurred

Yes it is. The way things are now, I'm suprised they even bothered with little boxes and didn't simply leave the Blessed Sacrament out like a bowl of crisps at the pub.

They'd probably regard that as a request or suggestion

...and, up next, mailing the little boxes to shut-ins/ elderly. Further secularization of the Divine courtesy of the Germanic Church.

This is sacrilege, desecration and there will be consequences

I agree with you Jim. The Sacred body of Christ should only be taken and consumed in front of a priest or someone appointed by a priest to bring it to the homes. The Body of Christ can not be given Out without the reverence it deserves.

This is the wise approach. Imagine Covid crisis continues for months, or even for years. Covid is not the worst virus as well. Tomorrow we may have something much worse. To stay without the sacramental Jesus, or to take Him home with the biggest possible Love and Reverence? Satanists take Him from churches and masses anyway.

This is the wise approach. Imagine Covid crisis continues for months, or even for years. Covid is not the worst virus as well. Tomorrow we may have something much worse. To stay without the sacramental Jesus, or to take Him home with the biggest possible Love and Reverence? Satanists take Him from churches and masses anyway. Let also remember the first Christians kept the consecrated Communion in their homes, they didn't have church buildings. I expect the day when I can take Jesus at home
