Lectors (also known as Readers) are called to proclaim the readings from Sacred Scripture, with the exception of the Gospel. The Lector may also announce the intentions for the Universal Prayer, the responsorial before the Psalm and, in the absence of a psalmist, recite the Psalm between the readings.
Like many responsibilities in the church, becoming a Eucharistic Minister must be a calling. A calling to defend, to serve, and share the consecrated host to those in need.
Those who take on the ministry of Lector are presumed to be confirmed Catholics in good standing with the Church, active members of the parish, of good faith, eager to serve and willing to engage in ongoing formation.
