LECTORS
Be the Voice That Welcomes the Word
In every celebration of the Eucharist, God speaks to His people through the proclamation of Scripture. A Lector has the beautiful responsibility of becoming an instrument through whom the Word of God is shared with the community.
In our campaign of being a Welcoming Church, every voice matters. As a Lector, you help bring Scripture to life - not simply by reading words from a book, but by proclaiming God’s message with faith, understanding, and reverence. Through your preparation and service, you invite others to listen, reflect, and encounter God’s love.
Being a Lector is an opportunity to deepen your own relationship with Scripture while helping others hear the hope, wisdom, and encouragement found in God’s Word. Each reading proclaimed is an invitation for hearts to be opened and lives to be transformed.
What you can do:
• Proclaim the First and Second Readings at Mass and liturgical celebrations
• Understand the meaning and message of God’s Word
• Serve with reverence, confidence, and humility
• Participate in training and formation to grow as a minister of the Word
Who can join:
Anyone who:
• Has a desire to serve God and the Church
• Is willing to grow in faith and knowledge of Scripture
• Is committed to preparing and proclaiming the Word with care
• Wants to share God’s message with the parish community
No special experience is required - only a willing heart, a love for God’s Word, and the desire to serve.
Step forward. Let God speak through you.
Join the Lector Ministry and become a voice that shares His Word with love, faith, and purpose.
