Our Parish Needs You --- To be a Lector

St. Joseph on the Brandywine needs more lectors!

Student lectors have moved on to college and long-time lectors have moved away or decided to retire from service as Ministers of the Word. 

We particularly need lectors at the 7:30 a.m. Mass, but we are happy to welcome lectors to the 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. lector teams as well. 

We are scheduling one-hour training sessions now. Lectors are assigned to read every four to six weeks, and you will know well in advance the Masses to which you are assigned. 

You will receive a handbook with guidance for preparing your readings as well as a parish-specific procedures guide that walks you through the lector's role in the Mass. 

Please search your hearts and ask yourself: Is God calling me to be a lector?  If you would like to learn more about the Ministry of the Word, contact Loretta Carlson at [email protected] or call her at 302-521-7936.
