About LECTORS
What is a Lector?
A Lector, properly, is an instituted minister of the Church, usually one in preparation for ordination. In the absence of an instituted lector, other "Truly Suited" laypersons may be commissioned to proclaim the readings from Sacred Scripture.
Please reference our "Highlights" section below for more information.
If you are comfortable speaking and would like to become a lector, please contact Tom O'Dea.

HIGHLIGHTS
Definition of "Truly Suited"
Per the General Instruction of the Roman Missal:
101. In the absence of an instituted lector, other laypersons may be commissioned to proclaim the readings from Sacred Scripture. They should be truly suited to perform this function and should receive careful preparation, so that the faithful by listening to the readings from the sacred texts may develop in their hearts a warm and living love for Sacred Scripture.
So within the Lector Ministry, we are lay people who are making a gift of our time and talent to bear witness to the Truth before God’s faithful people, in accordance with the General Instruction.
"Truly Suited:" One must be a practicing Catholic in good standing to exercise this role. If you have any questions about what this precisely means, please contact one of the priests of the Parish.
