Reader

In the Catholic Mass, the role of the lector (reader) is a vital ministry that brings the Word of God to life for the congregation. Lectors are entrusted with the responsibility of proclaiming the Scriptures during the Liturgy of the Word, helping the faithful to encounter and understand God's message. This ministry is not just about reading aloud; it is about conveying the living Word of God with clarity, reverence, and conviction.
