To: ebb tide

Things have improved a good deal since the 90’s in that way—and there is a need to not let things regress.

In our diocese, the Bishop has decreed that those receiving in the hand go first, the priest then will sanitize, and then those who receive on the tongue. At the weekday Mass, probably 60-80% continue to receive on the tongue (and kneeling). Attendance is often pushing the present legal capacity of 113.

Not bad for one of two parishes in a town of about 1200.
