I have been asked to present a gift to the priest at my grandmother’s funeral mass in a couple of days. I’m not Catholic and am curious as to what is involved and what it means to do this presentation. Is there some significance to it? Is this a common occurrence in a funeral mass? And is there anything special I am supposed to do?

Thank you for your help.
 
Hi,

All you have to do is bring up the bread and the wine to the priest who is waiting in front of the altar. Catholics believe that at the words of Christ at the Last Supper that the priest will say, the bread and wine will become the Body and Blood of Christ, even though their appearance will not change.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
