Note that, despite the headline below, this is not<\/i> a Catholic communion kit. The link on the underlying page — which actually points to a different product — makes it clear this is distinctly not<\/i> a Catholic product, but for denominations that (a) pass around the communion service down the pews in little racks, and (b) believe in grape juice, not wine. <\/p>\n

Say what you will about the Episcopal Church, our congregation uses real bread and actual (if unfortunately sweet) wine. No plastic is involved. Yes, a bit more effort is involved than "Lunchables," but, um, it seems worth it.<\/p>\n
