Ed Tougaw
Ministry Leader

Who We Are:
As Lectors, we proclaim the Word of God within the Liturgy of the Holy Mass.

What We Do:
Sacred Scripture within the Mass is not read, but "proclaimed" so that the Scriptures may be heard. To facilitate proclamation and hearing, it is important that lectors use the study materials provided before each scheduled Mass. Ministers should prayerfully review and practice their assigned reading(s), preferably several times. Lectors must arrive at Mass at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of the service. Training sessions for lectors are held throughout the year, with notices in the parish bulletin.

When We Serve:
Lectors are usually scheduled once every 3 - 6 weeks, depending on Mass preferences.
