Communion at Mass
Communion is distributed following the Final Blessing at both Sunday and daily Masses. We ask you remain in your pew until the pew ahead of you have received. After receiving communion, we ask everyone to please depart the Church through the side doors near the front of the Church sanctuary.
Out of charity and with concern for the common good, we ask everyone to receive communion in the hand.
St. Elizabeth's will distribute Holy Communion after our 10 AM Live-Streamed Mass. Even though in-person Sunday Masses are celebrated, we will continue Drive-Up Communion from 10:45 am to 11 am on Sundays until further notice. Below are instructions on how to come to St. Elizabeth's and receive Communion.
Drive-Up Communion
Bishop Coerver has given instructions for Drive-Up Communion for the Diocese of Lubbock, which can be viewed in the video below, as follows:
People over 60 years of age or people with pre-existing conditions which make them more vulnerable to the effects of the virus should not attend church services at this time.
- All people attending the service are to stay in their cars and must be wearing a mask.
- Communion distribution will begin at 10:45 a.m. Enter the North parking lot from the west end (Avenue X) and follow the directions provided by the Knights of Columbus.
- You will need to let the Communion Minister how many people will need communion in your car, and if you are taking Communion to anyone not able to attend. You will receive a paper cup with the Communion for those in your car.
- If you are not taking Communion to someone, you can return the paper cup to the Minister for proper disposal.
- If you are taking Communion to someone not in your car, you can bring the cup back next weekend or you can burn it at home.
- As you exit the parking lot you will have an opportunity to leave your weekly donation.
- Communion distribution will end at 11 a.m.
