Lectors News and Events
New Lector Recruitment & Training
We are currently seeking individuals to serve as lectors for the three year liturgical cycle beginning this coming Advent. Lectors proclaim the Old and New Testament Readings and the petitions at the Prayer of the Faithful at all Sunday Masses as well as on Holy Days of Obligation. In addition, lectors participate in all liturgies during Holy Week. We ask for a three year commitment coinciding with the liturgical cycle and for this reason. New lector recruitment and training only takes place once every three years.
Training Program in October and November
We are putting together a training program which will be held in October and November. These trainings will include a discussion on the significance of the ministry, followed by practice sessions in the church, where you will have an opportunity to proclaim assigned readings from the ambo. New lectors will first appear on the schedule issued for the Advent/Christmas seasons.
Additional Materials
In addition to your training, you will receive a workbook annually with all of the year's readings, along with helpful information and proclamation guidelines for each reading. This will help you with your preparation during the week of your assigned mass.
If you expressed your interest at the Ministry Fair last fall, we still have your information and will be contacting you about the training schedule once it is finalized. If you did not sign up but wish to become involved in this important and meaningful ministry, please contact Allen Van Camp at 714.693.8546 or s.a.lector@att.net
