From what I have read online only canonical hermits, consecrated virgins and others with canonical status may have the consecrated host in their homes.

What would be the other types of ¨canonical status¨ where the Bishop would allow for one to have the consecrated host in ones home?

Thank you and God bless

I would think a retired priest who has a chapel in his home, but I don’t really know.

Anyone with a properly constituted chapel and/or oratory might have a tabernacle present.

Members of certain orders, dedicated to daily adoration.

Members hosting remote missions. (Usually also accompanied by permission to set up a chapel.)

Members hosting underground parishes in their homes in places of persecution. (Explicitly includes permission to set up a chapel if it’s a parish.)

Deacons or Instituted Acolytes who live in remote areas from the parish, and have to provide the eucharist further out still to homebound, especially if the drive is multiple hours each way, may be permitted to carry a pyx to their home, for use the next day in their assigned ministry.

For the duration of a mass said in a home, any home with good reason for the mass to be said there and a valid priest to say said mass.

Persons in isolated places of employment for extended times, with permission of the bishop, may be permitted a small supply of the Eucharist. Not very common anymore. May become more common if manned spaceflight becomes affordable.

Thank you Aramis for you in-depth response. You have given me more information than I expected…which is very much appreciated.

God bless you and have a blessed Easter Sunday :gopray:
 
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!

You’re most welcome. Several of those I know of from personal experience…

even those persons would not be allowed to reserve the host in their homes unless they provided a separate space, chapel or oratory, for reservation, including a tabernacle in suitably reverent environment and I believe Mass has to be said there with a certain frequency, and they cannot do it at all without specific permission of the bishop that applies to that individual and that location.
