Many jobs that were done by nuns have been taken over by the laity! I’m a nun from an active community. There are no jobs for me to do anymore as they are taken over by the laity. Teaching religion, taking care of altar linens, convents turned into office space, are a few that have been taken away from religious. Most of all, sadly, respect for religious has dropped over the years, those who have remained faithful and served the church for a lifetime. I’m stuck in a government apartment. I worked hard for years but earned very little SS. My sisters are all dead now. Bishops want nothing to do with us, they take our home, our savings and tell us to go in our old age. We have nothing…
One of the very 1st statements is incorrect. There is nothing sweet about Communion wafers. Thr Code of Canon Law (Catholic Church) dictates that they be made only of wheat flour and water.
The Cavanagh hosts are just higher quality and come in a resealable container. Priest hosts (larger)were made by St Micheal Altar Bread Bakery for the Deaf in Holland from 1844 until the churches were shut down for covid.
Your dad would not be happy. Shame on you for competing with nuns who needed this for their income. You made a business decision, not a moral decision. 😢
Eastern Catholic churches are allowed to make their own, as that tradition also uses leavened bread. But in the Western rite, the bread has to be made a certain way. I wish there was less of a monopoly.
Just because you do not believe does not give you the right to disregard the belief of many others. What is so wrong in leaving it alone and letting others take comfort where they choose to find it.
She is correct . Transfugureation refers to an event in Christ's ministry on Earth. The event that occures during the Consecration of the Eucharist is termed "Transubstanciation" in Catholic theology. It is the miracle of the Eucharist where the bread and wine become in substance--in the Aristotlean sense--of Christ's Body and Blood whilst retaining the "accidents", or appearance of bread and wine ol; the Real Prescence of Christ in the Eucharist. The Orthodox also have the belief of the real presence, using another term rooted in Neo-Platonic philosophy rather than Aristotlean. Both terms are attempts to explain a great Mystery. Transfiguration refers to a change in appearance.
By the way, we don’t consider this “transfiguration,” which is an event recorded in the Gospel regarding Jesus on Mt. Tabor. The mystery of the bread and wine becoming the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is known as “transubstantiation.”

Santa Rita Abbey in Sonoita, AZ still bakes communion hosts. Give them your business and help support the Sisters!
My parish and school communities use their hosts too!
Thank you for bringing attention to this unfortunate story and for treating it respectfully.
This is not how it was. Please read my other comments

This is so sad. Can't the nuns relay their old age problem to the Vatican?
i don't think so, the Vatican has also other things to do@@aliciasantos6065
I will pray for you Sister.

I know a number of convents that still makes communion wafers.

I remember ordering st michael bread from Meyer Vogelphol until they too closed business
And thus a beautiful part of the preparation of Mass was lost. Bring back the bread-baking nuns!
That’s horrible. So sad. Nuns should be making the hosts.
What about Broadman?

Wow, where do you make these type of videos? 😮
wafer? its a host... a communion host
I would like to learn to make the wafers communion.
I am crying on how capitalism took their business.
Capitalism
Can’t let religion get in the way
Glad I’m Orthodox. Someone from the parish bakes the bread. I guess thats what happens when you get rid of tradition.

The wafers or bread DO NOT “transfigure” in to Christ’s body.
Just because you do not believe does not give you the right to disregard the belief of many others. What is so wrong in leaving it alone and letting others take comfort where they choose to find it.
That is true, but this isn’t the place for that discussion
Yeah they do. It's the real and true presence of Christ. Get over it.
