They only offer It at the Masses on Sunday morning. The Traditional Latin Mass and the Masses in the evening don’t offer It.

I never leave Pittsburgh, and I haven’t seen a mass where it was not offered here for many years. Of course I wouldn’t expect to see it at a Latin Mass, it isn’t a traditional practice.
 
Several weeks ago, an EMHC at my church tripped going down the steps, fell and dropped the chalice and Precious Blood on the carpet.
My church offers it at every weekend Mass. I forget if it’s offered in the morning during daily Mass.

Your reason for thinking it is odd is quite valid. I think certain people thought your comment suggested you believed the true presence was not entirely in the body alone and the blood alone, but required both to be received in order to have received the true presence.
It is really unusual to learn about church traditions that you were never aware of. I was raised going to a very charismatic mass, now I go to Latin mass and there are so many new and surprising things I learn. And then I come to find out that this is technically the old way, and the usual way. The stuff I was raised on is the new unusual stuff haha
 
Ive only received the Precious Blood once or twice for fear of germs.
 
I have never heard of anyone catching any diseases or even colds after drinking the blood of Christ.

I have faith that God is not going to infect me with anything during communion. I am more likely to catch something from someone sitting near me. We should not live our faith in fear.

Thankfully every week.

When I go to Mass in Poland I have never been able to receive.

Why is this something to be particularly thankful about? Catholic teaching is that it isn’t necessary and doesn’t bring any more grace than receiving in the traditional way.

Receiving both species is the traditional way. 😉

(Reserving the chalice only to the celebrant only started becoming common around the 12th century.)
 
I’m a EMHC and my parish offers Communion under both Bread and Wine just for the Saturday vigil and Sunday Masses.

I receive the Precious Blood when I’m not scheduled to serve as well.

Exactly why carpet in a church is not good, and why the Precious Blood used to not be offered… 😦
 
Yeah. I don’t know how they cleaned that up properly. They did use cloths to soak some of it up but I don’t know what else they did.ourpriest remained calm though, unlike me who was like “Oh my GOSH”!
 
they should really tear up that carpet and bury/burn it… i’m pretty skeptical that they got all of Christ out of it, and now people are walking all over Him…
 
Thanks :::::thumbs up::::::I didn’t suggest tearing up the carpet and burning it, but I did notify him about what happened and asked how they could clean all that up properly.
