Cavanagh Communion White Wafers 1-1/8" 500-Pack — Thin Crisp Embossed Cross

Cavanagh Communion White Wafers are 1 1/8" thin, crisp altar wafers embossed with a subtle cross design, packaged in a convenient set of 500 for liturgical use.

These altar wafers are crafted for churches, home communions, and religious events that require a consistent, reverent element for the sacrament. Each wafer measures 1 1/8" (about 28 mm) in diameter and is designed to be lightweight, neutral in flavor, and easy to handle. The embossed cross adds a respectful visual detail without affecting taste or texture. Sold in bulk packs of 500, these wafers simplify preparation and reduce the need for frequent reordering.

How do these wafers perform during communion services?

The wafers are thin and crisp, so they break cleanly and are easy to distribute during services. Their neutral, unobtrusive flavor keeps the focus on the rite rather than the food. Because they are uniform in size and thickness, ministers can quickly prepare and serve without additional trimming or handling.

• Consistent 1 1/8" diameter for predictable portioning
• Thin profile that breaks cleanly and handles well
• Light, neutral flavor suitable for diverse congregations
• Embossed cross for a simple, reverent appearance

Will these wafers meet my congregation’s hygiene and storage needs?

Wafers packaged in a larger sealed pack reduce exposure compared with loose storage and can be kept in a cool, dry place to maintain crispness. Because they are dry and shelf-stable, they require no refrigeration and offer months of service life when stored properly. For best results, keep them in their original packaging until use and avoid humid areas.

• Bulk packaging protects wafers until opened
• Shelf-stable—store in a cool, dry environment
• No special refrigeration or preservatives required
• Ideal for churches that serve many congregants

How does the cross design affect presentation and use?

The subtle embossed cross adds a visual symbol appropriate for liturgical settings without creating uneven texture that would interfere with handling. It provides a clear, respectful motif that complements communion vessels and altar linens. The design is modest and uniform across all wafers, helping maintain a cohesive presentation.

• Embossed cross for a dignified, consistent look
• Shallow embossing that doesn’t compromise wafer integrity
• Matches traditional communion aesthetics
• Each wafer appears identical for uniform presentation

How many wafers will I need and how does this pack size help?

A 500-count pack covers multiple services or a larger congregation, lowering the frequency of reorders. This quantity is practical for weekly services, special liturgies, or parish events, and provides backup stock for unexpected attendance increases. Buying in bulk can streamline supply management for parish administrators and volunteers.

• 500 wafers provide ample supply for many services
• Reduces the need for frequent restocking
• Economical for churches, missions, or special events
• Convenient for churches of varying sizes
