CWN Editor's Note: Worsening power shortages in Cuba have led to lower production of unconsecrated hosts. As a result, some priests are rationing Holy Communion.

Referring to nuns who make the hosts, Father George Payano, O.P., said that “they told the priests and bishops, you have to ration them a bit so that there are enough for all.”
