St. Agnes invites registered members of the parish, adult and youth, who are skilled in public speaking and would like to serve as lector to consider our Ministry of the Word program. Our lectors proclaim the Word of the Lord at daily, Sunday, and Holy Day Masses; read the responsorial Psalm at the 7:30 am Sunday Mass; and the General Intercessions at all the Masses. Rotation through all masses allows the lector to become familiar with each congregation. Careful and thoughtful preparation of the assigned readings is essential. The lector must be in the Sacristy at least 15 minutes prior to the beginning of Mass. Workshops are scheduled to assist lectors in improving and honing their skills.
