Hi, guys —

Every Sunday, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is celebrated at my local hospital.

Prior to the Mass is a Protestant service. The same chalice is used in both the Holy Mass and the Protestant service.

  • Is this allowed?

Mary Ann replied:

Hi, Aidan —

No, to my knowledge, it is not.

Usually, the Catholic chaplain will have his own chalice. The Catholic chalice should not be used otherwise than at a Catholic Mass.

  • Perhaps the chalices simply appear identical?

Mary Ann
