Attached is the Lectors' Schedule for March 2015.

Please note that his schedule starts on February 28, Saturday!

Dear Lectors,

The Lector Schedule for December is attached.

As you can see, it is a busy month! I have accomodated all those who have notified me of absences during December, and have also scheduled some of the new readers who attended the last training - welcome to the team!

This is a special month when we will be drawing upon some of the most beautiful passages in the Bible which look forward to the birth of Jesus, the Incarnation, the appearance of the Messiah. Please give it your best, with adequate preparation (including reading out loud to yourself).

As ever, we thank you for your service in this most important ministry.

If you cannot make your alloted time, please find a replacement as soon as possible.

The Lector Ministry is calling for volunteers for all Masses. We have a particular shortage of lectors for the 11:15 am Mass and need your help.

If you want to be part of the ministry that proclaims the Word of God, please volunteer and sign up on Service Sunday, or email Markus Shaw at This email address is being protected from spambots.

On Sunday, Feb 19, was the continuation of the lector training sessions we provided from last Fall. So far there have been 6 sessions, and 39 lectors of the 55 on the roster have attended. Some lectors have come twice as they have found the training very useful. Two new readers joined us. Lectors are given an overview of the Mass, and the important role the Liturgy of the Word is explained. Lectors are asked to reflect on their roles as the "mouthpiece" of the Word.  Markus takes them through the mechanics of good public speaking, and participants practice reading the same passage and are given feedback on their individual readings.

We will continue to provide lector training as some lectors have not attended. The aim of the training is to produce good reading and ultimately raise the quality of the Spoken Word at St. Anne's.
