Gluten free First Communion

In Paul Turner's Blog by Paul Turner

Q: We have a First Communion Candidate (2nd grade) who cannot do any gluten, including low-gluten, so we are offering the precious blood. If his parents do not approve of wine or mustum, I told the DRE the only option is a “spiritual communion”.

In your experience and knowledge, is there any other recourse for this child?

In advance, my thanks, as always…

A: That child is entitled to communion by consecrated wine or mustum. That is a far superior solution than a spiritual communion.
