My name is Kate Suba and I am a student at St. Rose School working on my Bronze Star Award for Junior Girl Scouts. As part of my project I am promoting awareness about Celiac Disease. Celiac Disease is a digestive disorder that occurs when a person eats gluten (wheat, rye, barely) causing a negative reaction in the intestines. This prevents the food from being properly absorbed. For those who have this disease St. Rose Church offers a "Gluten Friendly" host. This host only contains a minute trace of wheat, but can be tolerated by many people with Celiac Disease. For more information on how to receive this host please call the parish office at (203) 426-1014.
