Lectors

Lectors have the sacred duty of proclaiming the assigned readings from the Old and the New Testaments at Mass on Sundays and during the week. A desire to read scripture at the liturgy, a willingness to be trained and practice the readings, the ability to read aloud in public, and a commitment to live what they proclaim are required for this ministry. The primary tool for lector preparation is the annual Workbook for Lectors, which the parish provides to each lector. They also receive group and individual training. Lectors are assigned by the lector coordinator on a rotating basis. Anyone high school age or older may serv in this ministry. If you are interested in serving in this ministry, contact Vicky Tufano, Director of Liturgy, at 708-434-1533 or vtufano@ascensionchurch.com.
