Lector (Reading at Mass)

The ministry of lector is a very important role that reflects directly on how our parishioners and visitors view our parish, for it shows that we are concerned with the quality of our liturgies. This is true not only in our weekend liturgies, but also in our other liturgies. This includes Solemnities, Sunday and daily Masses, weddings, funerals and other special Masses.

Since the Mass is the public prayer of the Church, it is the privilege of the lector to pronounce this dialogue between God and his people to our gathered assembly. In the readings, as explained by the homily, God speaks to his people, opening up to them the mystery of redemption and salvation, and offering them spiritual nourishment. Christ himself is present in the midst of the faithful through his word.

A training session is provided at St. Elizabeth Seton at various times of the year for those who feel called to this ministry. Contact the parish office to join this ministry.
