Lectors proclaim the Word of the Lord during the Liturgy and when there is no Deacon present, the General Intercessions. A lector must have a passion for Scripture; an ability to interpret and understand Scripture; and, sufficient public speaking skills to proclaim the Word to the assembly. Training in the specifics of the ministry is provided throughout the year. Parishioners are trained to proclaim the Word of God at all Masses. Lectors for weekend and Holy Day Masses consist mainly of adults; school Masses have children serve as Lectors. Lectors are provided with a Lector Handbook to assist in their proclamation and pronunciation.
