The use of Lectors began at St. Joseph Church began June 16, 1968. Originally, one Lector was used per Mass. In 1990, the duty of Lector was split between two people.
Lectors proclaim the Word of the Lord during the Liturgy. A lector should have a passion for Scripture, an ability to interpret and understand Scripture, and sufficient public speaking skills to proclaim the Word to the assembly. Training in the specifics of the ministry is provided throughout the year. Lectors are assigned on a rotating schedule.
