In 2008, the Australian Bishops directed that we should bow slightly one back from the minister of communion. Genuflecting before receiving was not permitted as it is a safety hazard especially for people behind unsteady on their feet, who can be easily tripped up and fall causing a broken hip. We have just prayed aloud: ‘Lord, I am not worthy to receive you……..’ Our parish is committed to having a safe environment for the benefit of all and to satisfy the parish’s legal responsibilities.
