The Ministry of the Word (Lector)

“Proclaim the Word. Inspire the Faithful.”

Are you a confirmed Catholic with a love for Scripture and a desire to serve your parish community? Consider becoming a Lector at St. Leander’s!

Lectors have the sacred responsibility of proclaiming the Word of God during Mass, helping to bring Scripture to life for the congregation. This is more than just reading—it’s a ministry of presence, preparation, and prayer.

Why Join the Lector Ministry?

  • Deepen Your Faith: Engage more fully with Scripture and grow in your spiritual life.
  • Serve Your Community: Be a vital part of the liturgy and help others encounter God’s Word.
  • Build Fellowship: Join a supportive and faith-filled group of fellow ministers.

Training & Formation

All new lectors receive hands-on training that covers both the spiritual depth and practical skills of this ministry. You’ll learn how to prepare readings, use your voice effectively, and understand the sacred responsibility of proclaiming God’s Word.

Flexible Scheduling

We understand that life is busy! Our formal yet flexible scheduling allows you to serve in a way that fits your availability, while still supporting the needs of the parish.
