When Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people and Christ, present in His Word, proclaims the Gospel using your voice. The lectors should have their readings far enough in advance as to be able to practice sufficiently and become prayerfully familiar with them. Lectoring is not simply “reading,” it is proclaiming the Word of God! The lectors always bow when their paths cross in front of the altar and bow on the way back to their seats. 

Requirements:

• Be fully initiated, meaning they have been Confirmed
• Be practicing Catholics
• Be in good standing with the Catholic Church
• Be affiliated with a parish
• Demonstrate responsibility and commitment to service
• Be at least a rising junior in high school

All must receive approval from the parish priest.
