Lectors

A dedicated team of adults and youth parishioners assist at parish worship by proclaiming the Scripture readings at Mass and other liturgies.  Readers are scheduled on a rotating basis.  Contact the Parish Office.

Lectors bring life to the written Word of God. Those who proclaim God's word in the liturgy are known as Ministers of the Word or Lectors. Answering the call to become a lector enters one into a deeper relationship with God as He is revealed in sacred scripture. 
 
To be lector is a commitment of service.

• Registered member of the parish
