What to do when you run out of Hosts?

have the altar boy hold the paten up when making the transfer.

Wow - I have not seen an altar server with a patten in about 30 years.

At one parish I visit periodically, a number of altar servers come up during Communion to hold pattens. Usually, each EMHC, as well as the priest, has a server with patten alongside.

When you run out you just break the ones you have left into smaller pieces until it lasts you the rest of the mass :/.
I went to one mass where they had no official Eucharist bread, so the priest used a loaf of bread, which i thought was cool.

I really hope this is a joke

if he was in a Byzantine Rite Divine Liturgy, that would have been perfectly fine

But his remark was: “they had no official Eucharist bread, so the priest used a loaf of bread.” At a Byzantine Divine Liturgy, the “load of bread” (a rather special loaf at that) is the “official Eucharist bread”.

at this point i’m just being charitable and giving him the benefit of the doubt
he may not be aware of Eastern Churches and may think that the only official Eucharistic bread is the one we see in the Latin Church. he may have wandered into a Byzantine parish thinking the word “Catholic” on the name of the parish means “Roman Catholic”. i would have made this mistake over a year ago as its only recently that i’ve learned about Eastern Catholicism. i always thought in the past that all Eastern Churches were Orthodox
