    At Holy Communion please come forward to the Altar rail where you many stand or kneel as you are able. 

    • If you wish to receive the host only or a World Communion Cup (WCC) you may come to either side. If you prefer a WCC please let Fr. Jon know.
    • If you wish to receive the host and sip directly from the Chalice please come to the Lecturn side (the left as you approach). Please know there can be no Intinction (dipping of the host) on this side.
