Downtown Houston, Texas' Co-Cathedral of the Sacred Heart announced that they were also changing their way of distributing communion.

Co-Cathedral Deacon Leonard Lockett explained to local media in an interview published earlier this week how they were going to change things for the time being.

"Normally we would have eight to 16 cups at different stations throughout the sanctuary and individuals will come out and receive the precious body followed by the reception of the precious blood from the cup," noted Lockett. "But because of the flu outbreak and the church being cautious on that, we received the precious body but we didn't distribute the precious blood."
