With the Eucharist being such an important sacrament, it is very important to us at St. PatrickÆs Guild to provide you with only the best quality of Communion hosts. That is exactly what you will get when you purchase any of our Communion hosts carefully baked following all of the rubrics from Cavanagh Company. Our Communion hosts are made only of pure wheat flour and water without any unnecessary additives. Made by the Cavanagh Company who are altar bread bakers with years of experience, our Communion hosts are packaged fresh just minutes after baking and are untouched by human hands. These extra thick Communion hosts are made exactly according to the canonical standards of the Catholic Church. These whole wheat Communion hosts measure 1-3/8 inches in diameter and are double the thickness of most Communion hosts. When you buy these 500 count canister-packaged Communion hosts, not only are you getting high quality altar breads, you are also getting exceptional strong and convenient packaging for easy storage. The package is recyclable and has a complete hermetic seal which keeps the Communion hosts fresh and germ free. The canister also protects against tampering and damage and allows for very easy opening, dispensing of the Communion hosts, and resealing.
