Anyone know where a communion wafer maker can be bought? I have some visitors from a Ugandan diocese who would like to be able to make their own.

Thank you so much for the links - I knew someone here would know! I needed to search for Host rather than Communion Wafer. They are not cheap though ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)

You could probably make them on a baking tray and mark a cross on each ?

Do they need to be wafers? I have a recipe for communion bread. If you'd like it, send me a PM

I had a friend who left the priesthood because he felt he'd become a wafer dispensing machine - though he did come back many years later.

I think the hope was to be able to generate some income as well as make their own, but it's not looking likely given the price of these machines.

I wonder if something like this would fit the bill. There's also a link to an Italian webpage with instructions. Clearly it was once possible to buy wafer irons (and probably still is) but I can't find any online

And I was picturing some Wallace and Gromit contraption going mad and shooting wafers all over the chancel. Sort of like what happened in the pre-air-conditioning days in the American South when our associate priest walked in front of a huge electric fan with a full paten. Had to pick 'em all up and eat them himself, too.

Wonderful mental picture. I'll never watch clay pigeon shooting again without thinking of it.

Pez candy dispensers would be good, especially for Family Services. For multi-station distribution you could have the Trinity figures, or the Holy Family. Or for really big places, The Pez Disciples.
What ever happened to that goofy 'priest' who would mail peeps a consecrated host (for a small fee)?

Was this by any chance at the Pro-Cathedral in Baltimore? If not, the same thing happened there.

Pearl, did you see the Jesus Pez dispenser I linked to a few posts up? Now we just need tiny, rectangular Hosts.
As for Post the Host, they seem still to be in business, or at least their webpage is still up.

![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif) No, Pigwidgeon, I didn't. Sorry. I'll try to keep up. And, I hope our Rector doesn't see that l-o-n-g litany thing at the end of the PosttheHost page. He would twist that into the Prayers of the people quicker than my dog on a slice of baloney.

I saw it in North Carolina in the early eighties but I imagine it must have happened in many places with no AC. Nothing like a grown-up's gaffe to liven up a dozy summer service for a little girl. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I think I once saw something like that on a table in the back of a church. On entering, those planning to go to Communion would use it to drop a wafer into a bowl, so they didn't actually touch it. Then the bowl was taken to the altar in procession at the offertory. The idea is appealing and instructive in theory, but IMHO far too fussy an innovation as a regular practice.
