Lectors

Lectors are trained to proclaim the word of God and pray the general intercessions at Mass and other parish liturgies.

Those chosen as lectors must be:

·         Fully initiated Catholics, in good standing, who live their lives according to the teachings of the church

·         Believe and witness the message of the Gospel

·         Have a maturity and ability to proclaim the word effectively

·         Normally they should be at least 16 years of age

Lectors receive proper training, because they are entrusted with the ministry of proclaiming the word of God to the assembly.
