MEMORANDUM

The CDC has changed protocols regarding masks and quarantine because of the decline in hospitalizations due to COVID-19 infections and the greater availability of vaccines and boosters to prevent the spread of the virus. This has gradually prompted us to relax protocols while maintaining a sensitivity for the promotion of good health and the prevention of spread of infections especially among the most vulnerable.
Having consulted with our priests, deacons, lay ministers, diocesan staff, and medical professionals, I believe it to be prudent to continue our current practice that was put into effect on March 12, 2020, of receiving Holy Communion only under the one species of the Consecrated Host.
The implementation of this liturgical protocol temporarily abrogated the diocesan law implemented by my predecessors, Bishop Joseph Delaney and Bishop Kevin Vann, (and maintained by me) that Holy Communion is to be offered under both species to all as a fuller expression of the Mystery of the Eucharist that Christ is really present in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Having heard the counsel of my presbyteral council, Consultors, Deans, and others, and having listened throughout the diocesan synodal process, I am announcing that the practice of offering Holy Communion under both species is no longer required as positive law at the celebration of Mass in the Diocese of Fort Worth. If circumstances regarding the spread of the virus should change, it would be left to the discretion and judgment of the pastor or the superior of a religious house to offer Holy Communion under both species of the Consecrated Host and the Consecrated Wine from a common chalice.
Prior to beginning this liturgical practice, pastors, deacons, and their staffs are to work with our Office of Worship and Liturgy and our Office of Evangelization and Catechesis to develop an adequate program of catechesis and liturgical formation to foster greater understanding, reverence, and devotion to the Holy Eucharist among the faithful and to prevent abuses in the distribution of Holy Communion. Most especially, I am asking my priests and deacons to remind the faithful that the Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “Jesus Christ is truly present whole and entire in each of the species and whole and
entire in each of their parts, in such a way that the breaking of the bread does not divide Christ.” (CCC #1377).
