Catholic Church in Utah, recently became the site of a miracle after a communion wafer placed in water appeared to bleed.

Meant to symbolize the flesh of Christ, the wafer--also called Holy Host--was placed in a glass of water near the altar at St. Francis Xavier Church in Kearns after a young parishioner returned it to the priest during communion. The priest reportedly then placed the wafer into the water, expecting it to dissolve in just a few minutes.

But it didn’t dissolve. Instead, the wafer remained intact for several days. What's more, it turned a deep blood red. News of the apparent miracle sent shockwaves through the church community and devotees began to pack into St. Francis Xavier's to see the host on display. Salt Lake City Diocese appointed a five-person committee to investigate the potential miracle.

Monsignor Rev.Fr. M. Francis Mannion issued the following statement: "Recently, reports of a bleeding host at St. Francis Xavier Church in Kearns have been circulating within the diocese. Monsignor Colin F. Bircumshaw, Diocesan Administrator, has appointed an ad hoc committee of individuals with various backgrounds to investigate the matter. The work of the committee is now underway. The results will be made public. The host is now in the custody of the Diocesan Administrator. Contrary to rumor, there are NO current plans for public exposition or adoration. However, the results of the investigation will be made public when it is complete.”
