Guidelines on Ministry of Communion for Those Living with Coeliac Disease or Gluten Intolerance

22 July 2020

The Bishops Commission for Liturgy has approved guidelines regarding Ministry of Communion for Those Living With Coeliac Disease or Gluten Intolerance (May 2020).

The guidelines offer general suggestions and leave it to local dioceses under the direction of the local Bishop and Parish Priest to determine particular practices that may need to be followed at the local level.

The guidelines are available here.

We are a community of communities from the Murray to the sea.
Inspired by the Gospel and nourished by the Eucharist, we follow the example of Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, reaching out in joyful and humble service, caring for all of God’s creation, growing in love day by day and looking forward to life with God forever.

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
