Lectors help to proclaim the Word of God during Mass. They read the weekly announcements, the first and second readings, and the prayers of the faithful.

WE NEED YOU… TO BE A LECTOR

The role of the Minister of the Word, also known as the lector, is to minister/ serve both God and his people by proclaiming the scriptural reflections of the Church each Sunday.

The candidate should be a baptized member of the parish who has received the sacrament of Confirmation and attends Mass regularly. She or he must take time to prepare and reflect on the readings in advance of the Sunday celebration of the liturgy so that the word of God will be proclaimed with familiarity, reverence, and love. Some bit of awe in having a role in the sacred mysteries is helpful, but will likely be acquired over time!
