OCTOBER 2022 (PICTURES) – Our parish student lectors resumed their ministry sessions in October 2022 – All students in Grades 3 through 8 in our parish school and religious education program can say “YES” to God’s call to serve in His Church as a lector.
Student lectors meet once each month with the ministry team on a designated Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon after school. For this first month’s session of this year, the students were reminded of the sacred and holy place in which lectors serve and of the reverence and dignity we give to God in His Church. Each student lector then blessed themselves with holy water at the baptismal font and was commissioned by God through their catechist, thereby affirming each child’s God given gifts and that each said “YES” to God and will do their best for our Lord. Together all then prayed our student lector prayer, asking for God’s grace to listen, learn, and apply the skills needed to proclaim God’s Word. Students practiced at the ambo, guided by a catechist of the ministry team.
Student lectors serve at school and religious education Masses and prayer services and at YPLW (Young People’s Liturgy of the Word), currently at Sunday’s 9:30 AM Mass. If your child in Grades 3 through 8 wants to begin participating in the monthly student lector sessions to then begin serving as a student lector, please email Mrs. Susan O’Connell at soconnell@saintmike.com.
