How to Receive Holy Communion
Fo r a l o n g t i m e n ow, t h e
extraordinary Ministers of Holy
Communion have been asking me
to review the Catholic discipline of
receiving Holy Communion with
the faithful of this parish. So, I
present the following as a gentle
reminder of the best practices for
receiving the Sacrament:
Do
prepare yourself for Holy
Communion by confessing your
sins and receiving absolution.
Don’t come to receive Holy
Communion if you are conscious
of mortal sin. Do prepare yourself
for Holy Communion by fasting
for at least one hour before
receiving. Don’t come to receive
Holy Communion chewing gum.
Do consider receiving Holy
Communion on the tongue. It is
the ancient and venerable practice
of the Church. Don’t bite! Do hold
out both hands, one over the
other, if you intend to receive Holy
Communion in the hand. Don’t
hold out your hands and bow at
the same time. Bow or genuflect
first, while the person in front of
you is receiving, and then step
forward to receive. If you receive
in the hand, do consume the Host
in the full view of the Eucharistic
minister (deacons, priests or
bishops are ordinary ministers;
consecrated religious, seminarians
and laity may be commissioned as
extraordinary ministers). Again,
always consume the consecrated
Host immediately after receiving
in the hand while in the full view
of the Eucharistic minister. Never
walk away from the minister
without having first consumed the
Host. I’ve instructed the ministers
to chase after you if you do walk
away w i t h o u t f i r s t h av i n g
consumed the Host and to ask you
to consume it immediately or to
return it. Likewise, never carry the
Host to the Chalice to dip it into
the Chalice. As Catholics, we do
not communicate ourselves; we
receive Communion. Also, never
ever carry the Host to the pews or
remove the Host from the church.
If you are an adult responsible for
children who have not made their
First Holy Communion, do not let
the children receive.
In conformity with the General
Instruction of the Roman Missal
(160), though the norm for
reception of Communion in the
United States is standing, the
faithful may kneel to receive Holy
Communion. As a word of
caution, however, do be careful.
Since the Cathedral renovation,
we no longer have a Communion
rail and it may be more difficult for
some people to get up after
kneeling for reception.
At all times remember that we are
privileged by the initiative of God’s
grace to receive the Body, Blood,
Soul and Divinity of Christ in the
Sacrament of the Eucharist.

RECOGNITION BANQUET
The 2014 Recognition Banquet is
to be held on May 2, at Harrah’s
Convention Center.
All are invited to attend.
Tickets can be purchased at the
parish office for $39 per person.
We purchased three tables and
have less than ten seats left.
If you plan to attend, please let
us know as soon as possible.
LA PIETA
Since I have only heard from
two parishioners that would
like the Pieta to stay I gather
there is no further interest to
keep here at the Cathedral.
The curator will be here next
week and I will ask him where
he would like us to send it?

Vamos, vamos vamos, vamos al altar, al atar de Dios.
Que en Cristo tenemos nuestra alegría y nuestra juventud,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Cristo, Cristo, Cristo, nos ofrecerá, nos ofrecerá su verdad y vida con su palabra.
Cantaremos ya, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Salmo
El Señor es compasivo y misericordioso.
Ofertorio
Donde hay duda que lleve yo tu fe, donde hay odio que lleve yo tu amor.
Donde hay desesperación que lleve yo esperanza, donde hay tinieblas que lleve yo tu luz.
Donde hay tristeza que lleve tu alegría.
Señor haz de mí un instrumento de tu paz. (2)
Comunión
Poner los pies sobre la tierra y desprecia la guerra, eso es amor.
Tratar con más delicadeza a los de la pobreza, eso es amor.
Y tú, que no sabes amar, pretendes encontrar maldad en mí,
En mi que solo doy amor, amor porque tan solo se recibir, eso es amor, eso es amor.
Final
Cristo te necesita para amar (2)
No, te importe las razas ni el color de la piel, ama a todos como hermanos y haz el bien. (2)
