Roman Catholic AnswerStarting back when the consecration was held at a remote altar and the canon (the Eucharistic prayer) was said in a low voice with the priest bending over the altar, a bell was run at the point where the consecration actually took place. This has been done for hundreds of years, and is still recommended even though the people can plainly heard the priest now.

A rung during the consecration of Mass refers to the ringing of a bell. Typically, the bell is rung three times during the consecration as a way to signify and highlight the moment of transubstantiation, when the bread and wine are believed to become the body and blood of Christ. The ringing of the bell is a traditional ritual practiced in many Christian denominations.

Why does the Catholic Church use wood blocks on holy Thursday?

Holy Thursday is the mass of the last Supper. After the Gloria, during which bells are rung, the bells go silent until Easter when Jesus is risen. So during communion when the bells are usually rung several times during the communion prayer and consecration, the church used to use wood blocks clapped together instead of bells, a reminder to the people that something special is happening in the Mass. This practice is no longer done in the usual Mass since the Vatican Council.
