CV NEWS FEED // A Eucharistic miracle may have occurred this week in the tabernacle of St. Anthony of Padua Church in Morris, Indiana, a Catholic nonprofit in Indiana reported Feb. 25.
Corpus Christi for Unity and Peace (CUP) wrote in an X post that two consecrated hosts that had been dropped separately during daily Mass Feb. 21 were set in water and placed in the tabernacle to dissolve, in accordance with precautions the Church takes to preserve the sanctity of the Holy Eucharist as stated in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.
St. Anthony’s parish sacristan reportedly found spots of blood after looking at the hosts while preparing for a Feb. 22 evening Mass, CUP stated in an X post.
“She opened the tabernacle to see if the hosts had dissolved yet and found spots of blood!” the post said. “She immediately showed the priest, they removed it from the water and kept it in the tabernacle. When I saw it today it looked like a very very thin piece of skin with blood on it.”
According to local news outlet The 812, several parishioners believe the red substance is the blood of Jesus Christ, and therefore a Eucharistic miracle, but the occurrence has not yet been confirmed as a miracle. The Archdiocese of Indianapolis may refer the possible Eucharistic miracle to the Rome-based Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith for an investigation.
When CatholicVote contacted the parish, no one was immediately available for comment.
