Those who are invited publicly to share God's Word are sometimes called "Readers". A more suitable term is "Lectors". The latter term emphasises the proclaiming of God's Word rather than the reading of a Sacred Text. The lector assists the congregation to encounter Christ in the Liturgy of the Word.
It is a privilege to read the sacred scriptures, it is an enriching, fulfilling and spiritual experience. At present in our Parish there is a panel of parishioners who are Ministers of the Word. The commitment involves preparing for and reading the sacred scriptures at Mass on Sundays/Holydays and the Vigil Mass on Saturdays. The readers are on a rota for Sundays and weekdays.
