Lectors

Lectors proclaim the Sacred Scripture so that the community of faith may hear the Word of God.  A lector is the person who proclaims the first or second reading at Mass. This person also may lead the Psalm (in the absence of a cantor) and the Prayers of the Faithful at Mass (in the absence of the deacon).   Lectors must believe that Sacred Scripture is the Word of God and have deep respect for God's presence in that Word.
