Lector Training Workshop
Lectors have a critical role in the celebration of the Mass. Since lectors proclaim not just any word, but the Word of God, it is essential that they develop the skills required to communicate God’s message competently.
Through the use of voice, eye contact and personal presence, lectors help God’s Word come alive for the assembly.
This training will provide the skills and self-confidence needed for those who wish to become lectors in their own parish or for any lector who would like a “refresher” course.
A follow up session will take place in your parish that will include any particular practices for your parish.
