Readers

Schedules can now be found under LITURGICAL MINISTRY SCHEDULE

The Readers are a group of volunteers who convey the Word of God to the congregation at both the Sunday and weekday Masses.  They read the Scriptures and lead the community in prayer.

As caretakers of the Word, a readers' ministry is intimately connected with the assembly's encountering Christ and coming to belief.  Before readers can proclaim the Word effectively so that Christ is encountered, they themselves must have encountered Christ in the Word.  Their proclaimation must ring with their own belief so that the assembly is moved to respond, "Thanks be to God".

The way to come to this kind of proclaimation is twofold: readers must pray and reflect deeply and long on the Word they proclaim, and readers must live the Word in their life so they know of the Word's challenges and blessings from their own experience.
