FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Bishop John M. D’Arcy announced Thursday that the
suspension of Communion from the cup will be lifted, effective
January 10, 2010.
“I have consulted with the other bishops of Indiana and
also our regional vicars, as well as our College of
Consultors,” said Bishop D’Arcy. “There was a
general, though not unanimous, consensus that it is time to
consider the lifting of suspension of Communion from the cup. We
have also consulted particular health officials,” he said.
“Taking everything into account, the suspension is lifted
effective on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (Jan. 10, 2010).
“People have every right to refrain receiving the
Precious Blood from the cup if they wish,” he continued.
Bishop D’Arcy concluded his remarks by thanking his
priests and the people for their collaboration in the matter.
