Readers/Lectors
Each time we gather to celebrate the Sunday Eucharist, we listen to God’s word proclaimed. At the Table of the Word, we encounter Jesus Christ and are fed with his life-giving word. We rely on fully on initiated members of the Parish who are committed to proclaim the first two readings and announce the intercessions (prayers of the faithful) which form part of our response to God’s Word. Our dedicate team of readers also make them selves available for other celebrations throughout the year.
New ministers of the Word are asked to participate in the annual Diocesan workshop as well as a formation meeting in the Parish. Subsequently, they receive a mandate from the Bishop and are scheduled for ministry by our parish coordinator. If interested in becoming a lector, please contact the Parish Office.
