Agnus Dei Responds to Questions from Church Leaders over Communion Host Dispensers

The introduction of the Communalabra Communion Host Dispensing System and the Purity Solutions Communion Host Dispenser has clergy asking, which best preserves the holiness of the sacrament while making it more healthy, convenient and economical.

The H1N1 Flu pandemic has resulted in Church leaders and congregations voicing concerns over the passing of deadly flu and other life threatening microorganisms during the communion service. An estimated 30 percent of congregations are expected to stop receiving communion or attending church during the upcoming 2009-2010 cold and flu season. The result will be fewer donations to support the work of the church. With church attendance already on the decline, churches are looking for new ideas to increase attendance. Agnus Dei Church Supplies has filed U.S. Patents and Trademarks associated with the first-of-its-kind Communalabra™ Germ-Free Communion Host Dispensing System that will take the fear out of passing germs during the communion service. The introduction of two similar but very different products has clergy and church leaders asking, which best preserves the holiness of the sacrament while making it more healthy, convenient and economical. To answer those and other questions a comparison chart was created.
