Cardinal DiNardo Installs 55 New Lectors
Fifty-five seminarians of the Pontifical North American College were instituted to the Ministry of Lector during the Sunday celebration of the Eucharist on January 13, 2013.
His Eminence, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston, celebrated the Mass and instituted the new lectors. Handing the book of Sacred Scriptures to each seminarian, he said, “Take this book of holy Scripture and be faithful in handing on the Word of God, so that it may grow strong in the hearts of His People.”

The institution as lector is oneof the ministries seminarians receive as they proceed towards diaconal and priestly ordination. As the rite indicates, a lector is charged with proclaiming the Word of God in the liturgical assembly, instructing children and adults in the faith, and preparing them to receive the Sacraments worthily.
Congratulations to all those newly installed to the ministry of lector. Photos can be viewed here.
