Lectors

"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. He, who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelation 3:20-22)

Serving as a lector is a unique opportunity to deepen one’s own faith through prayer and preparation and to communicate that faith by making the Word of God come alive during liturgical celebrations. A lector is expected to: be a registered parishioner who is in full Communion with the Catholic Church, be a responsible adult or young adult, and committed to the Ministry of the Word. Must have good reading skills, believe and understand what they read, have a spirit of humility and service, practice what they read and be punctual when scheduled. Training and workshops are available to help improve one’s skills. For more information please contact Yesenia Esdailes at 973-985-3052.
