How often should the Host in the Monstrance be changed in our Perpetual Adoration Chapel?

I am not aware of any reference to a period of time that the Body of Christ… for want of a better term… goes stale… sorry…
Speaking from my experience as an alter boy of the sixties, the Eucharist was always removed and consumed by the Priest after the service, and I have seen the Eucharist placed in the siborium and stored in the tabernacle for use at a later time… either for viatical purposes or in the event of running out of Eucharist at a later mass…
i’m sure if there is a more correct response, it will follow shortly…
I just don’t know for sure, and can’t seem to find any related responses at this time… sorry, i wasn’t more help…

In our perpetual adoration chapel, we change the host on First Fridays (just as a tradition to remember to do it monthly). I think our pastor said that it should be replaced monthly and he read it in that document on Exposition that was mentioned here yesterday.
I don’t know what he does with the first host. The chapel is way across our parking lot to the tabernacle in the church. Before perpetual adoration, we used to have monthly exposition and kept a host in the luna in the tabernacle and that too was changed monthly.

There isn’t a set time that the host has to be replaced by, but Aquinas does warn…somewhere where I cannot find it right now…against allowing the hosts to go bad. The punishments were very severe.
That being said I had the chance to pray before some hosts that were consecrated 250 years ago while in Italy. They have been preserved through a miracle. So I guess there really isn’t a time limit.

Our diocese mandates that each parish have 24-hour Exposition on a designated day each month, for vocations. Thus there is always Exposition at one or more Churches in the Diocese.
At the mass after which the Exposition ,in our parish, the host is replaced with a freshly consecrated one. The one removed is broken up and added to the Communion hosts.
[We also have a parish mandated weekly 24-hour Exposition, but that would be too frequent a changing.]

Our parish has exposition in two chapels every Thursday. The hosts are changed during Mass the following Sunday. The “old” host is added to the communion hosts. (One of the chapels is the one I attend for Sunday Mass, Eucharistic Thursday (exposition) and First Friday liturgy.)
