| Lectors are an important and integral part of Mass. To begin, the lector processes to the altar with the altar servers and priest/Presider at the beginning of Mass. The lector proclaims the first and second readings (and may, on occasion, be required to read the responsorial psalm). The priest/Presider (and if present the deacon) proclaims the Gospel. At the conclusion of the Homily and Profession of Faith, the lector reads the petitions within the Prayer of the Faithful.
Lectors are scheduled for each Mass on a rotating basis. Schedules are developed on a bi-monthly basis and distributed to all lectors. A workbook is provided that includes readings for the church year. This book describes styles and techniques of reading that are helpful to the lector. It is expected that the lector will practice the readings during the week, and not come to Mass unprepared.
It is helpful if the lector has some experience speaking in public, but is not necessary. Lecturing can build confidence in the individual. Please consider this ministry as way of becoming a part of our parish community.
