What Is A Lector
A Lector, also known as a Minister of the Word or Reader, is a trained, fully initiated Catholic who proclaims the first and second readings from Sacred Scripture during Mass and may lead the Responsorial Psalm in the absence of a cantor and the Prayers of the Faithful. Lectors prepare for their role by studying, praying, and practicing the scriptures to clearly and reverently communicate God's Word to the congregation.
