The Making of Altar Bread for Holy Communion - The Passionist nuns of Erlanger, Kentucky

The Eucharist is one of the seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church. In this Sacrament bread is change by Christ through the priest at Mass into Jesus' Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Bread is changed through the process of transubstantiation into the invisible real presence of Jesus. The bread for this Sacrament is specially made. Passionist nuns in Erlander, Kentucky, give a tour of their altar bread-making process. The Passionist Nuns were founded in the 1700s in Italy by St. Paul of the Cross. In 1910, five of the sisters arrived in the U.S. and went to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, eventually spreading out to Erlanger, Kentucky, in 1947. In this video, Sr. Mary Angela, a Passionist sister who lives with eight other women in the Erlanger community, introduces us to their ministry of making wafers for communion at Mass. She particularly addresses children who are making their first Holy Communion. Since May and June are two months when most children make their first communion, Sr. Mary Angela’s tour is a great tool for parents and catechists to provide children a better understanding of the Eucharist they will be receiving, as well as to give them a window into the life of a Passionist sister.

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” (John 6, 53-56)
