LECTOR MINISTRY
I would like to give you some insight as to the process
that we follow here at Holy Trinity, in becoming a Lector/Petition
Reader. The first step involves a "tryout", a process in which you
and other new Lector/Petition Readers are asked to read before a group
of current Lectors. The new Lector is evaluated on such things as
voice projection, enunciation, pronunciation and general public speaking
attributes. The first meeting if the new Lector is accepted will offer
training on the methods we follow in this parish to serve as Lectors.
When accepted the new Lector will be assigned a mass to serve as either
a Lector, who reads from the Lectionary, or as a Petition Reader,
who reads prayers and petitions, these duties will alternate. Lectors
will serve anywhere from once every other to twice in a three month
schedule period, the frequency depends on the number of Lectors we
have for the mass you have chosen to serve, 5:00PM Saturday, 9:00AM
or 11:00AM Sunday. We ask that if you sign up for the Lectors Ministry,
that you not sign up for another scheduled ministry, i.e., Eucharistic
Minister, Greeter, etc., as we schedule independently and cannot coordinate
the scheduling of various ministries.
If you feel this ministry is for you or for further
information, email or drop me a note, with your full name, address,
telephone number, mass at which you would like to serve, and whether
you have been a Lector before.
