The reporter may be a a little confused about terminology. In one play he says just after Holy Communion, but it sounds like he had just finished baptizing a baby.

The parishioner is quoted as saying during communion - I'm assuming that the parishioner was more informed than the journalist.

For a journalist, the baptism is probably the key event and the consecration just a bunch of boring prayers he was saying later.
