Lectors

In the readings, the table of God’s Word is spread before the faithful, and the treasures of the Bible are opened to them. The lector is instituted to proclaim the first and second readings from Sacred Scripture at Holy Mass. He may also announce the intentions for the Universal Prayer and, in the absence of a psalmist, recite the Psalm between the readings.

Those interested in assisting as lectors at Holy Mass should contact Deacon Michael Kristan ().

"Those divinely revealed realities which are contained and presented in Sacred Scripture have been committed to writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. For holy mother Church, relying on the belief of the Apostles (see John 20:31; 2 Tim. 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-20, 3:15-16), holds that the books of both the Old and New Testaments in their entirety, with all their parts, are sacred and canonical because written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author and have been handed on as such to the Church herself." (Dei Verbum, 11)
