Lectors read the first and second Scripture
passages at all weekend and Holy Day Masses. Before somebody becomes a
lector, they receive training to ensure they are prepared for and
comfortable with proclaiming the Word. The benefits of becoming a
lector include deepening your faith, serving the parish community, and
improving your public speaking skills. If you have any questions
or would like to sign up, please contact Lou. |
