It is a special occasion for some because it is the first time at San Fernando Cathedral that many Catholics in San Antonio are being offered the full Blood of Christ Communion during mass since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s nice to be getting back into normal and doing the old stuff we used to do back in pre-COVID,” said church member, Joshua Rodriguez.
The Archbishop of San Antonio, Gustavo Garcia-Siller, said medical research indicates it is safe to carry out the communion practice again. “It’s an adjustment, even for us to reorganize ourselves and always with a freedom for those who wish to receive it,” Archbishop Garcia-Siller said.
