A Lector serves as a minister who proclaims God’s Word to the assembled faith community. Liturgical proclamation of the Word represents an awesome responsibility to which one is called, and into which one is formed.
 
 The quality of the reader’s proclamation may determine whether their service helps the listeners. The parish requires and provides training. Once trained, lectors will receive an assignment based on our parish needs and their available.
 
 Our goal includes providing an adequate number of effective lectors with an opportunity to participate with sufficient frequency to maintain skills. If the lector pool becomes too large to achieve our goal, we will rotate lectors. This will be done in a manner to ensure there are enough available lectors throughout the year.
 
 If you would like to be considered as a Lector, please call the office for Darwin Reeck at (941)966-0807 ext. 303.
