The Lector’s primary duty is to proclaim the readings and prayers of the faithful at Mass. Lectors follow a rotating schedule based on the number of Lectors who have volunteered. For example, if 5 people volunteer for 4:00 pm Mass then they would serve once every 5 weeks. There is a short orientation given to new Lectors by Diane Czuprynski at which time they are given the book of readings to prayerfully prepare themselves at home.   A prerequisite for a Lector is that they should have made their Confirmation.  

Please prayerfully consider being a part of our Liturgical Ministries at St. Gabe's!  If you need information on any of the current training available for any of these positions, please contact Michelle Ziegler, the Lector Ministry Coordinator, at 716-510-5677 or the rectory at 716-668-4017.  If you have questions about any of the Liturgical Ministries, you may contact the Rectory.
