Proclaimers of the Word
To contribute to Sunday Masses and other liturgies through the proclaimation of the Word of God.
Readers proclaim the Word of God to our faith community, and therefore have an important role in focusing the community of St Theresa's on the Good News. They also help to build our community by providing the welcome at the start of Mass, and by leading the Prayers of the Faithful.
Throughout the year Proclaimers of the Word are rostered in pairs for preferred celebrations either at Saturday evening or Sunday morning Eucharist. Special rosters utilising those available for special celebrations for Easter, Christmas and other significant liturgical events in the Church’s liturgical calendar. A separate Holiday Season
roster is organised from December to January.
Training and support are provided and we endeavour to include fully initiated parishioners of all ages. This is evident at the monthly Youth Mass and also when St Theresa’s Catholic School, our parish School, join the wider parish community for Sunday Eucharist.
