LITURGICAL MINISTRIES
LECTORS
Lectors are those who are committed to the ministry of the Word of God. Through prayerful proclamation, lectors embody the Sacred Word in a very special way. God's Word is alive and active and the presence of Christ radiates from its proclamation at the liturgy. Thus, the lector is entrusted with the awesome task of being the "proclaimer" amidst the assembly.
If you feel called to this sacred ministry, call the Parish Office (335-2385) or stop by and talk to any lector after any Mass.
YOUTH AND ADULTS
Lectors who can effectively and enthusiastically proclaim the Word of God are selected by a process of discernment and audition. In addition, lectors are provided with training via a workbook and private study.
We invite all ages, children and adults, to participate in this ministry. Volunteers are needed at weekend Masses, daily Masses, Holy Day Masses, and funerals. Two-month schedules are sent out to each lector; normally, lectors proclaim the Word at one or two Masses per month.

Prayer for Ministers of the WordLord God,
You have called us to share the words of life with Your people. Just as the Holy Bread is food for our souls, So are Your words nourishment for our hearts. As You cleansed the lips of the Prophet Isaiah with a burning coal, Free our tongues so that we might speak to the weary A word that will rouse them. Burn into our hearts a true love for Your holy Word So that we may proclaim the Good News of salvation To Your glory. We pray through Jesus, Your Son. Amen. |
