The Lector is a minister who proclaims God’s Word at Mass and other liturgies. Through study, prayer, and discernment, Lectors are challenged with giving voice to God’s healing and strengthening Word as it goes forth irrevocably to the ends of the earth, achieving the purpose of which God sent it.

Requirements: Baptized Catholic in good standing, formed in Sacred Scripture, noted skills in public speaking, trained in procedures at St. Francis.

Time Commitment: Schedule depends on liturgy(ies) served. Typically, once per month. An annual formation/training is also required.
