Eucharistic Fast Canon law states, “One who is to receive the most Holy Eucharist is to abstain from any food or drink, with the exception only of water and medicine, for at least the period of one hour before Holy Communion” (CIC 919). The elderly, the sick, and their caretakers are excused from this obligation. Chewing gum breaks the Eucharistic fast and should not be used an hour before Mass and should never be used in church. Also, one should NEVER receive Holy Communion with chewing gum in one’s mouth and food or drink should not be brought into Church. Save the Date!
