| Ideally, the readings at weddings and funerals are proclaimed by lectors of the parish who have been properly trained. |
| The lectors, the cantor, many of the servers and all those bringing up the gifts were female. |
| The lectors minister the presence of God who speaks when the scriptures are proclaimed in church. |
| Beyond reading the sacred scripture, lectors write the intercessions we pray in the name of the community each week. |
| Let the presider and sacristan know that you are one of the lectors for that mass. |
| Training is provided and lectors are asked to commit to serve once a month. |
