The ministry of Lector is to proclaim God's living word at Masses and liturgical gatherings where scripture readings are included. Through the Lector, God continues to feed his people at the table of the Word. The Lector is expected to be knowledgeable of the scripture, willing and able to devote the time needed to prepare for each reading.
Lectors are appointed. Those interested in this ministry are evaluated on the basis of their talents. Ongoing training is required.
