Lectors are entrusted with the work of proclaiming the Sacred Scripture to those assembled at the Sunday Eucharist. Lectors also raise the community’s prayer to God by leading the Prayer of the Faithful. Individuals interested in this ministry must possess the ability to proclaim the sacred texts intelligibly and comfortably. They must also possess the desire to share the Word with others as well as a willingness to grow in understanding of the scriptures. For more information about this ministry, please email the Shrine.
Extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion assist with the distribution of the Lord’s Body and Blood at Mass. For more information about this ministry, please email the Shrine.
