What churches do not take holy communion?
Catholics do not TAKE Holy Communion, they may only RECEIVE it from a priest or a licensed Eucharistic Minister.
Is there a difference between Catholic priest and Communion minister?
Roman Catholic AnswerOne is real, the other is not. You are probably referring to what is the difference between a Catholic priest and an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist. In the later question, one is an ordained member of the clergy and can confect the Eucharist, the second is usually a layman who has been specially trained and designated to help distribute Holy Communion for a limited period of time, and/or to take Holy Communion to the sick with a special license from the Bishop.
Why are special clothes worn for holy communion?
So the Lord God can see that we respect his holy church.
What is the service of holy communion?
Technically, there is only one Communion Service called for in the Liturgy, and that is on Good Friday-the only day of the year when Holy Mass may NOT be celebrated. Holy Communion is given to the faithful from Hosts which have been consecrated on Holy Thursday at the Mass of the Lord's Supper. However, in areas experiencing a priest shortage, with the permission of the local Bishop a "Communion Service" may be celebrated by a duly appointed lay minister. At such a para-liturgy ("like" a liturgy, but not) a lay minister may lead the congregation in a penitential rite, read the readings, and then distribute Holy Communion from Hosts reserved in the Tabernacle. This is IN NO WAY to be construed as a "Mass" in any sense of the word, nor is it to be a regular occurrence. The rubrics that I know of specifically state that this may take the place of a Sunday Mass, in the sense, that if the Bishop approves, those attending are excused from their duty to attend Mass on that day. The current Rubrics of the Latin Rite (2013) FORBID such a service to occur on a weekday or substitute for a regular Mass in any way outside of that specifically allowed by the Bishop to substitute on a Sunday or other Holy Day on which Mass attendance is required.
Can you eat before holy mass?
.Catholic AnswerThere is no rule about drinking and eating before Mass, EXCEPT if you want to receive Holy Communion. There is a rule that you must be fasting from all food and liquids (save water) for sixty minutes before receiving Holy Communion, unless you are sick at home, or in the hospital and a minister brings you Holy Communion, then the rule is 15 minutes.
Who is in the communion of holy people?
The Catholic Church is the 'communion of holy people.'

What does the Church of England call the holy communion?

What is the difference between Catholic Holy Communion and Pentecostal Communion with respect to a child's first holy communion?

Where do you find the holy communion in church?
Communion is usually held during a church service. Some churches have communion one day a month. Others have it only on special times. Ask your church when you will have one.
Is taking Holy Communion in a Church better than doing it at home?
Catholic AnswerCatholics do not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" it. And Church, usually at Mass, is the place and time to receive Our Blessed Lord in the Holy Eucharist. The only time to receive Holy Communion at home is if you are sick, and a priest, deacon, or duly appointed Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist brings Him to you. Any other way or receiving Our Lord, unless specifically approved by your Bishop is not permitted by the Church. Finally, although it is still Holy Communion, it is infinitely better to receive Holy Communion during Mass both because a) just attending Mass, even without Holy Communion, is a great source of grace, b) and, believe it or not, being a Christian means being part of the Body of Christ. Being Christian is a corporate thing, you need to be worshipping with your fellow Christians, and receiving Holy Communion with them. So you are mistaken, it is not better to receive Holy Communion at home, and it is NEVER better to TAKE Holy Communion.
Taking your Holy Communion?
Catholics do not take communion, they receive communion.
