  • Lectors

               Lectors are to proclaim God’s word during the celebration of the Eucharist. Serving as a lector is one of the most important and one of the most responsible ministries of the parish. It is proclaiming the word of God and in many cases, it is the only way some parishioners hear the word of God proclaimed for the week. We have approximately five scheduled lectors for each Mass. The lector is expected to be fully prepared by studying each reading beforehand. By using the text “Workbook for Lectors, Gospel Readers, and Proclaimers of the Word” the lector gets a complete background and basic message of each reading. With this information, the lector can proclaim the Word with knowledge and enthusiasm.
                If you would like to become a lector, please contact Bill Blessey or submit the form below.
