When the GIRM was implemented in our diocese in January, our somewhat left leaning parish has not, as of this day, implemented standing during the communion. They (the parishoners) continue to kneel, throughout the consecration and communion, which I think is great.

The GIRM calls for kneeling, not standing, during distribution of the Eucharist. So, your parish IS implementing the GIRM.

It is? I'm relieved, and now confused.

I went to my neighborhood parish around the same time, and they stood during the distribution of the Eucharist (stating they were implementing the GIRM)...as did my sister's old parish in Burbank, CA.

(note, they had been doing that for a number of years, under the direction of Bishop Mahoney...not surprising)

Thanks for your imput.
