Lecturing

Lectors assist during the Liturgy of the Word by proclaiming the first and second readings and the Prayers of the Faithful. Lectors also join the opening procession raising the Book of Gospels through the Assembly and placing it on the altar. This ministry is an invitation to a deep and honest reflection of our individual journey with Jesus Christ. Lectors are called to bring all that they are into the presence of God and to appreciate the effect of the Word of God on themselves and to those to whom they proclaim this living text.
