Serving at Mass
Every Mass takes many hands.
Perhaps you read well, sing, keep things in order, or enjoy greeting people at the door. We would like to know what you bring, and to help you find your place.
Proclaiming and singing
Lectors
Proclaim the Scripture readings and help the assembly listen to God’s Word. A strong voice, good diction and the desire to proclaim are what is asked, and training is provided. Training video
