The Lector is instituted to proclaim the readings from Sacred Scripture, with the exception of the Gospel. He/she may also announce the intentions for the Universal Prayer, and in the absence of a psalmist, recite the Psalm between the readings.

Lector preparation requires a training session and an annual time for reflection. For further information, please contact Mary Jordan at St. Richard Church 724-444-1971 EXT. 112 or Jim Skalos at St. Catherine of Sweden 412-486-6001 EXT. 832.
