Weekday Lector Ministry

Who are we? A lector makes God present in the community by His Word and welcomes the congregation into God’s presence. They lead the community to pray and inform them about important information in the parish.

What we do The Weekday lector normally goes up to the ambo to proclaim the reading of the day, and the Psalm. On special liturgical celebrations there may be two readings and the prayers of the faithful, the weekday lector also reads the communion antiphon from their pew. After the priest has cleaned the Sacramental vessels, the lector goes up to the lectern reading the prayer for vocations and any announcements.

Membership Any confirmed Catholic adult of good moral standing (this includes a valid sacramental marriage in the Catholic Church) wishing to serve as a lector is welcome to sign up for this ministry. For any clarification, please speak with the Pastor.
