As a divorced catholic mom, is it appropriate to received communion at my son's wedding mass? I would like to do this and would like to know how I could "appropriately" participate in this part of the mass?As far as I know it depends on your circumstances. If you're remarried and didn't get an annulment then no you can't. If you're not remarried yet then there is some leeway for you to maneuver in. I know that my aunt went about twenty years without receiving Communion because she was divorced (she eventually got an annulment) but the main reason for this was because she remarried before the annulment. What you should do is talk to the priest about it and tell him your circumstances. If you're remarried then there is the option of an unconsecrated Host. I know of a few priests who are willing to give unconsecrated wafers in special circumstances but this does depend on the priest.
