Vatican to Determine if ‘Miracle’ Happened at Church Where Parishioners Reported Multiplying Hosts
The Vatican is reviewing claims of a “miracle” at a Catholic church in Connecticut after parishioners reported that Communion hosts mysteriously multiplied at a March Mass.
The Archdiocese of Hartford investigated the claims at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Thomaston and is sending the results to the Holy See in Rome, the Hartford Courant reported last week.
The reported miracle occurred at a March 5 Mass, when a parishioner assisting with Communion reported that there was a shortage of hosts — wafers used during the ritual to symbolize the body of Jesus Christ — only to then find there were plenty.
“God has duplicated himself in the ciborium,” said the Rev. Joseph Crowley, who oversees the congregation, referring to the type of container used to hold the hosts. “It’s really, really cool when God does these things, and it’s really, really cool when we realize what he’s done.”
After the incident, Hartford Archbishop Leonard Blair told reporters he appointed a priest well versed in church law to look into the reported miracle. (Read more from “Vatican to Determine if ‘Miracle’ Happened at Church Where Parishioners Reported Multiplying Hosts” HERE)
