Lectors

Many men and women and youth of the parish proclaim the Word of God at Sunday and weekday liturgies. Lectors receive training at parish and diocesan workshops. In addition they participate in special recollection sessions to promote their spiritual growth and to maintain and improve the skills needed to properly proclaim the Word of God.

St. Bede the Venerable
Patron Saint of Lectors

Careful Historian and Doctor of the Church, lover of God and of truth, you are a natural model for all readers of God’s inspired Word. Move lectors to prepare for public reading by prayerfully pondering the sacred texts and invoking the Holy Spirit. Help them to read in such a way that those who hear may attain learning and edification.

Amen.

St. Bede’s Feast Day is May 25th
