The Reader at Mass is a ministry for those who are Catholics formed in the faith and the Word of God. Readers should have the gift of oratory including speaking clearly and who communicate effectively. Readers who have not received Diocesan training (see the bulletin for upcoming dates) should first meet with Dr. John Villaveces or the pastor to discuss the requirements of this ministry. Please read the handout and see the presentation from our August 23rd, 2023 meeting.
Please also feel free to reach out with any questions at [email protected] or 816-229-3378, ext. 338. If you have already spoken with me and are ready to begin your ministry, please click below to enroll as a reader. Readers are expected to prepare for the readings well in advance and are encouraged to purchase their own resource(s) prior to their scheduled ministry. You can view the readings for each day at the link by scrolling down on this page or navigating to usccb.org/readings.
