The Eucharist is Available for
Parishioners with a Gluten Intolerance
For those who have a gluten intolerance, the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration offer a communion host that contains less than 0.0001% gluten. These low-gluten hosts are approved by the Catholic Church. St. Luke’s parish has purchased a limited number of these unconsecrated hosts.
We are happy to help you get started on having your own supply of hosts, as well as get new pyx, the small container for your host.
Please be sure to check with your physician first to see if this small amount is acceptable for you to receive.
To receive yours, please email Julie Basque at pastoralassociate@stlukes-parish.org or call and leave a message for her at 508-366-8509, ext. 4.

How to Receive a Low-gluten Host at Mass
- Once you have your own pyx and low-gluten hosts, you must put your name on the bottom of your pyx so that Father can learn your name, and to ensure you get back your own pyx.
- Before coming to Mass, place one host in your pyx. Arrive a bit early, as we ask that you approach Fr. Riley before Mass in the sacristy to give him your pyx. If Mass has already started, please see one of our ushers to help ensure that your host is consecrated at Mass.
- Please approach the alter for Communion in the priest’s line so that he can personally give you your consecrated low-gluten host. He will take the host out of your pyx, give you Communion, and return your pyx to you.

Welcome Weekend
at St Luke’s Parish
May 21 & 22
It’s been more than two years since Covid started and many of you may have joined St. Luke’s parish during that time. We’d like to take an opportunity to formally welcome you during each of the Masses on the weekend of May 21/ 22.
Some of our closest friendships are with those with whom we journey together in shared faith and values. These new friends may be sitting next to you at Mass every week and you may not know them – yet!
Nametags will be available as you enter the church and we encourage you to wear one. We will have a moment at the end of each Mass to welcome newcomers (or those who may not be new, but feel new.)
Would you like more time to meet people? Following Sunday’s 9:00am Mass, we will have an informal gathering and coffee in the upstairs hall of the Parish Center.
We look forward to seeing you all!
