Lector is a Latin term for someone who reads. Lectors play a critical role in the celebration of the Mass by proclaiming the Word of God through the Scripture readings that precede the Gospel reading.
In the fullness of time, the Word of God became flesh in the person of Jesus. That Word continues to become flesh again and again whenever a Lector stands up to proclaim it to a community of believers. Since the Lector proclaims not just any word, but the Word of God, it is essential that Lectors develop the skills required to communicate God's message competently.
The ministry of the Lector is wonderful work and an extremely rewarding ministry. Through your own sacrifice of time, effort and preparation, God's living Word continues to be proclaimed to all of his people. To be a Lector is to be given an opportunity for your own personal growth in Jesus Christ.
Lector schedules are created in advance to proclaim the scripture at Mass. If you are unable to serve, you are responsible for arranging a replacement. Training and mentoring is provided for lector candidates. A love of scripture is required to be a Minister of the Word.
