If you say so. You took a lot of St Thomas Aquinas data and reached back to the first century to correlate overseer as priest and then the words breaking and bread to mean the Roman Catholic communion. A far stretch if I may say so.
Perhaps when Paul met with the elders of Ephesus he should have emphasized the priests should have met with him as well to give them instructions on how to properly handle and store remaining consecrated bread. Considering early Christians were meeting in homes, open air and by rivers this could pose quite a problem.
Or perhaps in 13 epistles Paul could have mentioned how only priests should break the bread or only apostles or those ordained. No not found there either. Perhaps the bishop of Rome, Peter when writing from Babylon should have instructed all on who and how the Eucharist is to be handled. That seems to be absent as well as in John’s epistles, Jude and even James. It seems the apostles missed the establishment of priests, the mass, the changing of the elements. All not there other than bread and breaking and doing so in remembrance of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Hmmm, very short and to the point answer:
Lots of things absent in the NT epistles, they are not that long. My answer stands. And perhaps St. Paul new what he
told the Church and new what the other Apostles told the Church and he new the starting with Clement of Rome, the Didache, St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Polycarp and St. Ireneaus, all writing between 80-90AD and 185AD, that orthodox Apostolic Tradition would be preserved [just as it is recorded in those letters] and none of them had any idea that Protestantism in its various stripes would erupt from the 16th century onward hence they had no need to address your points noted above.
