Lectors

The lector assists at Mass by proclaiming the first and second readings, and occasionally the Psalm. With reverence and confidence, the lector brings scripture to life on Sunday as the storyteller of God’s Word, reminding us that God’s work is alive here and now. Reading from the Word of God is central to the Catholic Mass, and should effectively communicate God’s grace and love to everyone in the church. Later in the Mass the lector reminds us of our local and global connections, and helps us pray for those in need

Lectors, if married, must be validly married in the Church. One training session by the Archdiocese and a mass of commissioning by Archbishop is required.
