Description of Ministry
The primary responsibility of the Lector is to proclaim the 1st or 2nd Reading from the Ambo at Sunday Mass. In order to do that, the Lector needs to study and prepare the Scripture during the preceding week. In the absence of a deacon, it is a Lector’s job to proclaim the Prayer of the Faithful. Finally, a Lector acts as an “Assembly Leader” (also called “Commentator”), doing the Welcome and the Announcements from the lectern at the beginning and end of Mass respectively. Each Lector should expect to be scheduled to serve one to two times per month. There are one to two Lector training/renewing workshops per year. Knowledge and skills required: (1) knowledge & love of Sacred Scripture; (2) public speaking/reading ability; (3) fully initiated Catholic – except for youth & children’s Masses for which Confirmation preparation must be in progress.
