A Lector is a Lay Minister who Proclaims the Readings, (other than the Gospel) at Mass. After an initial training, to be an effective lector requires adequate preparation before Mass which includes study, prayer, and practice.
If you are interested in becoming a Lector at a weekend or weekday Mass, please contact Mr. Zala Forizs through the parish office.
A lector has an important responsibility to convey the Word of God, clear and concise, allowing people to focus on the Scripture being proclaimed rather than the quality of how it is proclaimed.
Our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are those people who have volunteered for the wonderful privilege of distributing Holy Communion to their fellow parishioners during the celebration of Holy Mass. Ministers receive training for both the theological and practical aspect of sharing the CommunionBody and Blood of Christ. Ministers serve about every other week, are expected to dress appropriately, arrive before Mass begins. They are expected to find a replacement if they cannot fulfill their schedule.

To be a Lector at Mass requires both a practical and faith sharing methodology. Contact Zala who will coordinate training sessions before scheduling the Mass.
There is an annual schedule
