Touchless eucharistic dispenser

An apparatus comprising:

• a housing, the housing having a cylindrical shape defined by an outer diameter and an inner diameter, wherein the inner diameter is greater than a maximum diameter of a wafer and wherein the housing has a height to maintain a plurality of wafers arranged within the housing;
• a platform having a top surface and bottom surface, wherein the housing is connected to the top surface and defines at least a front opening formed in the housing and adjacent to a top surface of the platform, the front opening having a front opening height and front opening width;
• a slide having a cylindrical portion and a non-cylindrical portion, the slide positioned on the platform and configured to move along a horizontal direction relative to the platform, wherein the cylindrical portion has a diameter and is solid, wherein the non-cylindrical portion has a uniform width, wherein the slide has a height, and wherein the diameter of the cylindrical portion of the slide is greater than the diameter of the wafer and the uniform width of the non-cylindrical portion;
• a handle connected to the bottom surface of the platform;
• and
• a plate comprising a first circular portion and a mounting portion extending radially outward from an annular edge of the first circular portion, the mounting portion comprising a second circular portion mounted on a bottom surface of the handle;
• wherein:
• the front opening width is greater than the diameter of the cylindrical portion of the slide to allow for passage of the cylindrical portion of the slide into the housing;
• and
• the front opening height is not greater than a sum of the height of the slide and a height of two or more wafers.
