The actual consecration is done only by the priest, through the power of the Holy Spirit, although several priests may say the words of consecration at the same time. Altar servers may help with the ritual by presenting the bread and wine, and helping the priest wash his hands.

Why is the catholic priest able to change the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus?

Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which teaches that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine are transformed into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, while still retaining the appearance of bread and wine. This is based on the belief in the priest's power to act in persona Christi, or in the person of Christ, during the sacrament of the Eucharist.

Can a bishop and priest consecrate bread and wine?

One might say the priest blesses the bread and wine when he offers it to the Father at the Offertory. But it sounds like you are asking when he consecrates it (not blesses). He consecrates it during the Eucharistic Prayer when he bends over the bread and pronounces the words of Jesus: This is My Body, and when he bends over the chalice and pronounces This is the chalice of My Blood given for you.....


How do you administer Communion in the Episcopal Church?

After a priest consecrates the bread and wine, then it is distributed to the people. First, the priest gives the bread. The parisioners wait. Then, the priest comes with the chalice and people either sip wine from the chalice or dip their bread into the wine. In between people sipping from the chalice, the priest wipes the lip of the chalice where the last person sipped. Some people believe it is more sanitary to dip the bread into the wine (rather than sipping from the cup after someone else).
