In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be. What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race; the light shines in darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
-John 1 : 1-5
Those who are called to lector are called to proclaim the Word of God. Lectors join the priest and deacon at Mass in sharing Scripture with the assembly. Lectors in All Saints Parish are provided a workbook which helps them to read and understand the reading themselves before they read the Scripture to the assembly. The workbook also provides the lector with pronunciation of names and provides a background and explanation of the Scripture which will help them to deepen their own understanding of what they read to the Assembly.
If you are feeling called to this ministry in your church, contact Fr. Philip Tracy at 725-2624 and he will help you connect with your local lector coodinator.
