Reading at Mass

“Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ” Romans 10:17

Lectors are members of our Liturgical Ministries and are those who love Sacred Scripture and feel called to proclaim the Word of God. Lectors are called to bring all that they are into the presence of God and to appreciate the effect of their proclamation of this living text. If you feel this call to liturgical ministry joining a Bible Study group is a good place to begin. There is training and support for Lectors offered throughout the year beginning with an information session each Fall.

If you wish to learn more about becoming a Lector at one of our churches, please contact the Parish Office.

Sacristans set up the altar and prepare the sacramental and lectionary for all masses. They maintain the holy water font and various candles in the sanctuary. They are also responsible for the maintenance of altar cloths and the celebrants’ linens and arrange for their cleaning and repair.

It is special calling to care for the linens, vestments and vessels used at Mass and to prepare the church for the celebration of the Eucharist.
If you are interested in assisting a sacristan in the carrying out of this ministry, please contact the parish office.
