TIS, our neighborhood church distributed communion at the altar;it was the only one around that did it that way.

I also remember when only the priest distributed communion. I'm guessing it was about 1975 when they allowed eucharistic ministers. That was strange, indeed.

What took me longer to adjust was receiving communion by hand.

Back to Holy Week: When I was in school I regularly attended the Stastions of the Cross on Fridays. I haven't done it in the past several years and I miss it.
