The Bible is God’s Word, and Jesus is the Word made Flesh. Just as Mary gave flesh to the Infant Christ, so too do readers give flesh to the Word Who is Christ. Lectors are his mouthpieces. Christ is present of course, regardless of the lector’s style, but the reality of His presence is strengthened and increased when Lectors proclaim the word with faith and skill.  Please contact the parish office if you are interested in Lectoring. 845-473-4222
