Maybe when the following was said?

As for the original question, the signs of the cross with the Host, both before the communion of the priest and before he administers It to the people, are ritual gestures from the Tridentine Mass. The same is true of the sign of the cross with the chalice, before the priest’s communion. They should not be done in the current Order of Mass.

Not true. It’s up to the celebrant.
 
OK, let me clarify. I wasn’t questioning Fr. Trigilio’s chanting the words of Consecration. I was just wondering why he did it. I figured it was to underscore the import of the moment, just as Altar Man said.
 
Dr. Bombay:
Reminds me of that Yogi Berra quote: “Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore. It’s too crowded.”

Fr. Trigilio is a parish priest somewhere in Pennsylvania. Maybe you could track down an address and shoot him a snail mail. Ask him why he chants the words of Consecration too. I’ve never seen another priest do that.

I’m just trying to help. :tiphat:

One of his parishes (he has two) is very close to me. Next time I see him, I’ll try to remember and ask him (he also teaches at our Diocesan Institute). If you want his contact info please contact me by PM:

So as not to further offend the posting guidelines. I would suggest looking at the Diocese of Harrisburg website.

He is at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish, which is located in Perry county (Marysville).
