Ok, My kids and I go to mass on occasion in the city, not our regular parish. Last year when trolling under the pews one of the girls found THE HOLY EUCHARIST stuck to the bottom of the pew! We notified the priest and surched for more, finding several. The priest wouldn’t do anything so we scraped HIM off the pew and tryed to find the proper place out back, the sink that goes to the bottom of the church, forgot the name… Anyway it was being used at the time for MOP WATER!!! So I consumed the Hosts.

What should I have done?

Because it happened again. The kids just informed me. I will go back to the church in the morning, if I can’t get any joy from the priest what should I do?

Do you think it is just mentally disturbed people doing this? There are a lot in that parish?
 
The parish priest should have taken possession of the host and disposed of it properly. I would contact the Bishop and explain to him what you just explained here.
 
Thanks, we’ll call the bishop.:rolleyes:

However if he is even slightly interested in this, (after days and days of trying to get hold of him), I won’t be around to see it, because I’ll have died fom the shock.
 
Hi Sherimarie,

I am so glad that it was you who found Our Lord because you seem well formed in the Faith. I shudder to think of the sacrarium being used to hold a mop bucket. I second what Brad advised you to do and to make sure that the bishop actually reads what you have written perhaps address the letter to the bishop personally. I once rang the archdiocese and asked to speak to the bishop, “he’s not available at the moment” and instead spoke to someone who gave me incorrect information re a Faith matter.

All the best Sherimarie.
 
If possible, take some pictures of where you find the Eucharist and make sure the pastor and bishop see them. 😦
 
Taking Pics is a good idea! Especially if this is going to be an on-going problem.

I will write the Bishop… It can’t hurt and he should know, thanks for telling me to do that.

Thanks for the kind words too, I have been a little crazy about this.

Thanks everybody, I will tell what happens tomorrow.
 
I have uncles who are priests and I have two relative who are bishops (not in the US). Bishops won’t take calls. I was going to suggest you write to the bishop and mark the letter “Confidential.” If you have photos of the discarded Hosts, please enclose them. Thank you for being so wise and caring. I’m sure Our Lord cares very much.
 
I had never heard of this and find it rather disturbing with the response you received ,
Speak to a Higher Authority than the local Priest,

Take pictures of the mop water too (which, frankly, I find to be the most incredible part of the story)

If that was actually a sacrarium. We have only one sink in our sacristy and it’s not a sacrarium, in fact there is no sacrarium in our church.

I’d have consumed Our Lord then and there, THEN told the priest. I don’t care how dirty the area he was found in was. I feel it would be a stain on my soul not to.

How can a Host be stuck to the bottom of a pew?
 
Sacrieum, ok great, The Extrordinary minister pointed to that sink when I asked for the small sink that they used for the chalases, I said no and asked the janitor where the sink was that vents to the dirt under the church, he pointed to that one… Thanks for the word.

Would that be the PROPER place for such a situation?

Because I could bring Him over to a good priest who would help.

Should I transport like that? IS that proper?
 
How is it that the Host sticks to tthe wooden bench? I asssume because it is sticky after they take Him out of their mouth.

Sticks to the roof of your mouth sometimes…

Should I have a priest come t odothis?!!! Thst’s a good idea!

No. nor in ours. Anything needing to be poured into the ground is taken out to the graveyard or one of the flower troughs.

Yes, exactly.

Perhaps a child received on the tongue and didn’t like the taste, or decided to be daring.

Or perhaps someone with dementia.

I’d have thought the Host would drop off when it dried, though.
 
Upon reading your account a thought and concern ran through my head, to check the pews at my own parish but…everyone receives communion on the tongue in my parish. Therefore I expect not to find HIM stuck under a pew. Isn’t there to be an observance of the communicant consuming the host prior to walking away?

You said the priest would not do anything? Does he know to whom he is distributing the host to? This problem should strike his very core!

I am glad Christ alerted the little children to this HUGE PROBLEM. Please pursue this it MUST STOP!

The sink is called a sacrarium. I seriously doubt that what you saw being used for mop water was the sacrarium.

The sacrarium is in the sacristy and nobody should be allowed in there. You don’t just walk into the sacristy without permission. You would have your head handed to you by the head sacristan if you walked into the sacristy and started using the sacrarium without permission in my parish.

Unless you tell me that you definitely walked into the sacristy without permission then I think what you saw was simply a slop sink. Next time just get a paper cup with water and dissolve the host yourself and then pour it in the garden or under a tree.

Just wanted to add, I was listening to a Catholic radio interview with a ‘former’ satanist, who stated their group’s main purpose was to infiltrate and destroy churches. Christ alerted the innocents to His presence under the pew, I pray you can find a worthy servant in that parish to put a stop to the abuse and find the satanist.
