Our Diocese is launching a new Ministry Formation Program for Lectors, inviting men and women who may be called to a deeper engagement with Scripture and a ministry of service within the Church.

The formation journey will include online and regional gatherings, academic and ministry modules and parish-based mentoring, in preparation for institution by the Bishop as Lector.

Instituted Lectors are called, not only to proclaim the Word of God in the Liturgy, but also to support and mentor other readers; and contribute to parish initiatives which help all to grow in knowledge and love of the Bible.

If you wish to explore this ministry and discern whether God may be calling you to this role, please speak with your Parish Priest.
