Lectors proclaim the first and second readings at Mass. In the absence of a cantor or deacon they may also read the responsorial psalm or announce the intentions of the prayer of the faithful. Lectors are invited to serve by the Pastor and are trained in proclamation of Scripture.
Adults (age 18 and over) are needed to assist at Mass as Readers or Eucharistic Ministers. Training is provided. If you desire to take Holy Communion to the Homebound we will also meet with you to discuss how to receive and transport the consecrated host, the appropriate procedure for administering communion at home or in nursing or assisted living facilities or hospital settings as well as the empathy and compassion in serving as a conduit of Christ's presence to the parish. Please let Fr. Ric, Deacon Maurice or Ed Slusarczyk, our Liturgy Coordinator know if you would like to be considered for one of these liturgical ministries.
