Welcome to Lectors Proclaim!

LectorsProclaim.org is dedicated to helping men and women become more effective proclaimers of the Scriptures
in liturgical ceremonies

The major difference between “reading” and “proclamation” in liturgy involves the degree to which the person proclaiming a Scripture passage is personally involved with the passage. By that we mean how much lectors are investing who they are, what they believe, and how they understand the passage into their effort to proclaim the message in the passage. In short, the significance the passage has for the lector is reflected in the way the lector “proclaims” the passage to his or her fellow disciples.

The buttons to the upper left will take you to the various pages of the site:
For "annotated" versions of each Sunday's readings (including the Gospels) just click on the " Readings " button. These pages are presented to help raise questions in your mind as to how you will most effectively proclaim the reading (there is no "correct" way, just (with the Spirit's help) YOUR way).
The " Training " button will take you to descriptions of training materials we've developed and which are available for a donation to support our efforts.
The " Proclamation ," " Preparation ," and " Study Group " buttons address specific topics that are useful when considering on-going lector education and training. The other buttons are, hopefully, self-evident.

We at Lectors Proclaim are here to support you. We hope you enjoy our web site and that it helps you to proclaim the Word more effectively!
