Gluten-free communion wafers and communion bread for churches with members who cannot have wheat: plain 7/8" wafers, 1-5/16" crucifix wafers, 1-3/8" cross design altar bread, individually wrapped wafers, and gluten-free unleavened bread from Broadman, Cavanagh, Christian Wolf and others, from packs of 25 to boxes of 1,000.
Several are baked from a gluten-free flour blend (garbanzo bean, potato starch, tapioca, sorghum and fava bean flours) and water, with no wheat flour. The Cavanagh altar bread lists a shelf life of about one year. Check each product for its own ingredients.
Catholic parishes: the Church asks for low-gluten hosts, not fully gluten-free ones, at Mass. Our gluten-free communion wafers buyer's guide explains the difference. For regular wafers and bread, see communion bread and wafers.
