Mission Statement/Purpose
Proclaim the Word of God at the Mass in a clear persuasive way with interpretive emphasis so that the faithful may discover anew God's Word alive in our assembly.

Meeting Frequency
Because this ministry functions at Masses, there are no outside meetings apart from a yearly refresher training session. We are planning additional activities, social and spiritual in nature, and will advise Lectors when these are confirmed.

Meeting Venue
Activities occur at the Church during Masses.

Estimated Time Commitment for Volunteers
Approximately one Mass assignment every six weeks, and one refresher training session per year (Fall). Lectors are expected to rehearse their assigned readings during the week prior. Training sessions for new Readers or Readers joining St. Thomas More from other parishes are conducted twice annually [Spring and Fall].

Special Skills
Ability to prayerfully proclaim Scripture in front of a large congregation.
