St. Mary Parish is blessed to have a group of
retired gentlemen to serve at Funeral Masses. This is a new ministry
that has worked out very well and has been much appreciated by the
presiders as well as the families of the deceased. No experience is
necessary. If you are interested and available to occasionally serve
during the week, please contact Peggy.

“The liturgy is the central event of our life as
a church. It is through gathering for prayer and praise that we celebrate who
we are as God’s people. When we come together for liturgy, we encounter God –
in one another, in the sacramental actions, and in the proclamation of the word
of God. |
 |
Those who proclaim God’s word in the liturgy are
ministers. When you answer the call to be a minister of the word, you enter a
deeper relationship with God revealed in sacred scripture. You take upon
yourself the awesome duty and privilege of bringing the printed word to life.
Your proclamation enabled God’s word to achieve the purpose for which it was
sent. In short, you become a prophet, one who speaks for God. John the Baptist
is your model, preparing the way of the Lord…”
The above words were taken from the “Workbook for
lectors and gospel readers” introduction. And how true they are. What an
awesome privilege it is to participate in the lector ministry. St.
Mary’s is blessed with more than 70 lectors. Our parish provides us with the
tools and the training needed to perform our ministry in a prepared, insightful
manner. We utilize two lectors at each mass. Lector A reads the announcements
before Mass and proclaims Reading II. Lector B processes in with the priest
carrying the “Book of the Gospels”, proclaims Reading I, and reads the
Petitions. Each lector is generally scheduled for one Mass each month.
Please prayerfully consider the
Lector Ministry. All Parishioners are invited and encouraged to participate.
If you are interested, please contact the Lector Coordinator indicated above or
contact the parish office.
