• Approach the priest and Eucharistic Ministers reverently and in silence.
• Accept the Host on your cupped hands, or in the mouth.
• Children who have not been confirmed may not receive the Host in their hands, nor may they drink from the chalice.
• Never walk away from the priest or Eucharistic Minister holding the Host always consume it in their presence.
• It is not allowed to dip the Host in the Precious Blood by yourself. Receiving the Precious Blood is not compulsory.
