WELCOME TO THE ST. MARK READER MINISTRY
Gracias por mostrar interés en el ministerio de Proclamadores de St Mark The Evangelist!
Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Reader Ministry proclaims the Word of God with clarity and conviction, to rouse and nourish the St. Mark community and to inspire our brothers and sisters to further their discipleship in daily living
ENGLISH WEEKEND MASSES
The parish community of St. Mark the Evangelist invites members of the assembly who are qualified (registered members who have received First Communion) to accept the privilege and responsibility of proclaiming the Word of God at Mass as Readers.
The Reader should be a person of prayer who reflects frequently on the words of Scripture, engages in ongoing formation in the study of spirituality, scripture, liturgy, and technical skills, and seeks to live and proclaim the Word of God in everyday life.
A copy of the most recent Guidelines for the Ministry of Reader (revised 2017) can be accessed from the left side of this screen. Here you will find the responsibilities and procedures for serving as a Reader at St. Mark.
