Lector Ministry

Lector

Lectors proclaim the Word of God. They act as the voice of Christ at the Eucharist Assembly and other prayer services. 

Take your time

  • Always adjust the microphone before beginning.
    Always pause—count to 3 -- between “A reading from ...” and the first line of the reading.
  • Always pause –count to 3--between the last line of the reading and “the Word of the Lord”
  • Always practice and thoroughly prepare your reading before Sunday.
  • Always check to make sure that the Lectionary is at the ambo before the liturgy begins.
  • Make eye contact.
  • Proclaim your reading slowly, clearly, and with great meaning and conviction.
  •
