**4. Ministers of Holy Communion should wash their hands prior to coming to Church. The use of hand sanitizers, even during Mass, is acceptable for all ministers of Holy Communion, including the priest and deacon.**
I always carry a sample size bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse. I sanitize my hands every time I assist with distributing the Eucharist or before and after I might shake hands. People sort of look at me strangely, but after this, I think they will appreciate it!
Have you seen the cool little bottles of Purrell that have a rubber hook over the top to hang on the strap of your purse?
We have those.
