Why would a non-Catholic want to receive the Eucharist?

That's not what the OP was talking about anyway.  She somehow misunderstood an invitation to come up for a blessing as a requirement to do so (although she still hasn't said how she came to that conclusion).[/quote]

Lol, well we mostly avoided somewhat snotty responses.

Op here.  Ds passed this on to me.  When questioned further, he stated that the school Chaplain claims it is a "requirement of that parish."  He's pretty pushy though.  It isn't unusual for him to use "church policy" as his own preference.  His claim for this is that the only way you don't go up is if the entire row stays seated.

Ds was told this morning that those who choose not to participate simply won't.  One is of another faith and will have nothing to do with being blessed by a Catholic priest.

Thanks for the answers.  I believe I said earlier that my confusion came in because I've been to other ceremonies/services and participation has never been required.

Graduation isn't being held at the school's home parish so I thought I would ask.  We are now done with high school, so it won't be an issue again.
