"At the Last Supper, Jesus transformed the bread and wine into his body and blood and gave it to the Apostles to eat," says Fr. Richard Allen, pastor of St. Joseph's. "He then told the Apostles to continue doing as he did when he said, 'do this in remembrance of me.' By the nature of my ordination I am a representative of Christ.
"At the altar during mass the Last Supper is re-presented. It's more of an ongoing thing. Some like to say that the sacrifice of Jesus was a one time event, but it something everlasting for all people over many centuries to experience. At mass we are not re-sacrificing anything. It is that sacrifice being presented again."
