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.

Actually, the posture of the congregation during the distribution of the Eucharist is up to the discretion of the local bishop. Our bishop decided that, since most people will kneel, kneeling would be the posture used in our diocese.
So, different dioceses will likely vary.
