“Lector” is the Latin word for “reader.” The Lector serves the liturgical assembly by proclaiming the Sacred Scripture during the Liturgy of the Word. 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.

Qualifications:

• The individual must be a registered member of the parish
• Fully initiated in the faith, that is, be baptized, received First Eucharist, confirmed, and if married, marriage must be recognized by Catholic Church
• Have an on going relationship with the parish
• Must be able to read clearly, distinctly, slowly and with meaning
• All candidates are required to attend training sessions
