A Compact Dedicated Pyx for Low Gluten Hosts in Communion Ministry
Low Gluten Host Pyx by Koley's Inc. is the smaller-capacity vessel in the K-123 series, designed for parishes and ministers who serve a smaller number of communicants with gluten sensitivity. The lid features a clearly marked raised medallion with a cross, wheat stalks, and the words "LOW GLUTEN," making it easy to distinguish from standard pyxes at a glance during the distribution of Holy Communion.
Made of brass with a gold finish, this pyx measures 1-1/2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch deep, holding up to 8 low gluten hosts. It fits easily in a pocket or the companion burse K-3102 and is an essential vessel for any parish committed to inclusive Eucharistic ministry.
