Description
Summary:A religious institute of diocesan right, which is composed of men, has the daily celebration of the Mass in the chapel of its generalate. Since there are no clerics in the institute, a local diocesan priest comes to celebrate the Mass. The members receive the Holy Eucharist under both species. The priest-celebrant distributes the Host, while the religious take turns distributing the Precious Blood. The superior of the institute told the priest chaplain that it is unnecessary for the members of the institute to be approved as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion by the Diocesan Bishop, even though that is the norm in the diocese, given the proximity and dedication of these religious to the Holy Eucharist by virtue of their lives as consecrated persons.
