Often referred to as readers, the role of Ministers of the Word involves much more than merely reading aloud. These parishioners prepare for Mass by studying the readings of the day and striving to comprehend the significance of the text. When they stand at the lectern, their aim is to communicate their understanding to the congregation, bringing the words on the page to life.
This position is open to all parishioners, with a particular emphasis on encouraging younger members of our Parish and those whose first language is not English to participate. We warmly welcome their involvement in bringing fresh perspectives to our community.
If you feel inspired to serve as a Minister of the Word, have been confirmed, and possess the confidence to read from the lectern, please speak to the Parish priest. You will receive the necessary support and guidance to fulfil this essential Ministry.
