Rules for Receiving Holy Communion
1. One must be a Roman Catholic validly baptized with the traditional Latin ceremony. Therefore, if
you have been baptized in the new English Rite ( since May 5, 1969), it is necessary to bring this
to the attention of the priest.
2. One must be in the state of Sanctifying Grace, having made a good confession to a traditional
Catholic priest.
3. One must accept and believe all the traditional doctrinal and moral teachings of the Roman
Catholic Church, especially as regards to marriage. Anyone who has received a marriage
annulment must bring this to the attention of the priest before receiving Holy Communion.
4. One must not attend Mass nor receive sacraments from those priests who are in communion with
the “Old Catholic” sects, schismatics, or clergy who have received or trace their Holy Orders from
the late Bishop Thuc. One must reject the pernicious errors of Fr. Leonard Feeney and that of
“Feeneyism.”
5. One should be fasting for three hours from solid food and alcoholic beverages and one hour from
liquids other than water. Water does not break the Communion Fast. Those who are able to do
so, are encouraged to fast from midnight before receiving Communion at Mass in the morning.
6. One must assist exclusively at the traditional Latin Mass.
7. One must observe the dress code.
Dress Code
According to Apostolic Tradition, and out of respect for Our Lord’s presence in the Blessed
Sacrament, the faithful must dress modestly while in the church and assisting at Holy Mass. Hence, please
observe the following rules:
Women and girls must wear a modest dress and cover their heads with either a hat or chapel veil. Short
skirts which are above the knees, revealing blouses (such as low cut, sleeveless, or see-through), slacks and
shorts of any length do not meet the norms of Christian modesty.
Men and boys should be wearing neat trousers, a coat, jacket, or a dress sweater, and tie. Jeans, shorts,
open shirts, sneakers, and other such casual dress are inapropriate and do not meet the norms of Christian
modesty.
Please be advised that the priest reserves the right to refuse Holy Communion to anyone that, whom in his
prudent judgment, does not meet the requirements of the Rules for Receiving Holy Communion and Dress
Code as stated above.
