I don't know if there's enough wafers in the rectory? Word has it Joe Moore was passing out donuts before service Sunday at St. Margaret Mary's Church. Then he decided to go in and partake in communion.
"A person who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from any food and drink, except for only water and medicine."
Alderman Moore should consider waiting until after Mass when passing out donuts in the future.
julia, I saw the alderman there on Sunday and he was asking people to please stop by after mass for a donut, so I believe that he is quite familiar with the abstinence rule.

Sincerely
Is he a Catholic?
I believe Joe is Episcopalian, though I'm not sure.
