Best Long Shelf Life: The Miracle Meal Pre-filled Communion Cups and Wafer Set – Box of 250

Why purchase pre-filled communion cups and wafers?

These sets have several advantages, chief among them: quick prep time. With many congregations short on manpower or volunteers, communion cup and wafer sets are a life-saver.

Another concern: hygiene. These cups with juice are individually sealed. And they have a long shelf life.

Communion cup and wafer sets are great for camps, missions, hospitals and retirement communities.

For the best longer shelf life set, we liked Miracle Meal. This was recommended by our readers for its good flavor and nice packaging—the cups are sealed for safety.

• Nice flavor.

• Sealed cups.

• Not consecrated during manufacturing.

• Convenient.

What Needs Work

• A bit pricey.

• A bit tricky to open—you have to first fold the tab up. Otherwise, they are simple to open!
