The Lector (i.e., reader) serves the members of the liturgical assembly by proclaiming the texts of Sacred Scripture and recting the prayers of the fiathful during Mass and other liturgical celebrations. Through this proclamation, God speaks to the gathered community in a special way. The worthy exercise of this role enables the Church to hear the Word of God more clearly and receive it with more open hearts. Such regular public nourishment with the biblical Word helps to sustain the community and contributes to its ongoing conversion and mission.

All men and women of deep faith who are practicing Catholics in good standing, and at least 18 years of age, are welcome to become a lector. If, after much prayer, one feels called to take part in this ministry, they should contact Fr. Zach for more information.
