Charlotte’s Catholic community is about to see a tradition quietly disappear: kneeling at the altar rail for Communion will end by 2026. For many at St. Ann’s and beyond, this isn’t just about church furniture—it’s about how small rituals shape our sense of reverence, unity, and belonging. As the diocese moves toward a more uniform, standing Communion, some worry we’re losing more than a custom. In a fast-changing city, do these little traditions help keep us grounded? Or is it time for the Church to adapt? How do you feel about the role of tradition in your community? #Religion #Charlotte #CatholicChurch
