Who We Are
Lectors are men and women of St. Gertrude Church who serve the parish by proclaiming the Word of God during Mass.
What We Do
Lectors not only proclaim the first and second readings—and sometimes the Responsorial Psalm—during Mass but also read any necessary announcements before the liturgy and the Universal Prayer (Prayer of the Faithful) before the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
When We Meet
Lectors do not meet together on a regular basis; however, all lectors go through an initial training before they are able to serve at Mass.
