Saint Joseph Church invites you to be a Minister of Holy Communion and/or a Lector. Candidates must be a member of St. Joseph's parish, received the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, and be a member in good Standing of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Ministry of Lector is a work through which the Word is proclaimed to the people of God. The reading of the Word is a most important part of our liturgical celebration at Saint Joseph. Our lectors usually serve twice a month at a Mass time of their choice. Anyone interested in learning more about this ministry is asked to contact the Parish House 973-543-5950
New Lectors are always most welcome!
