On Wednesday, October 25th, students at BCCHS had the opportunity to learn how to distribute the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ at school Masses. Students who have received the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion were able to go through this training through their theology classes. Those interested in becoming Eucharistic ministers were given the opportunity to learn and practice distributing Communion in the chapel. Theology teachers opened the training to seniors and juniors who were interested and encouraged other students in the various theology classes to act as Mass goers so that the future Eucharistic ministers could practice by distributing unconsecrated hosts.
This training was a great opportunity to spread the Catholic faith and allowed Catholic students to participate in school Masses. Theology teacher Krista Wahl, who teaches every freshman theology class and some sophomore classes, explained, “It’s important to minister in different ways within your Church community. Learning to be a Eucharistic minister is just one thing that these kids can do… and it’s important to be involved [at] a young age, because then they might be involved as they get older in their own parishes.” During the All Saint’s Day Mass, the students were able to distribute the Eucharist to BCCHS students.
