Helpful Liturgical Hints: "HOW TO GIVE COMMUNION ON THE TONGUE"
The priest simply grasps the host by a very small area at the inner edge, that is the edge closest to him, at the same time turning the outer edge down, with which he makes first contact upon the communicants' tongue. The host adheres thus and the priest simultaneously relinquishes his grasp upon the host, thereby releasing the host into the communicant's mouth. Voila!

Fr. Mario, at St. Greg's, needs to read this as there's always finger-to-tongue contact. I don't know whether I feel sorrier for him or for myself. :-(
