Lectors ("Ministers of the Word")
A Lector stands at the Ambo to clearly and loudly proclaim the Word of God at Mass and at other Liturgical services. A Lector will also read the weekly Announcements and offer the General Intercessions.
Contact Mike Sullivan @ 585-248-5993 x10 for training information on how you can become a Lector.
Ushers’ Society
"Whatsoever you do to the least of My brethren, you do to Me".
We welcome all men, women and children (supervised) to become Ushers. Have your family serve together!
Ushers treat all parishioners as our brothers and sisters in Christ. We greet them as we would a relative and stand ready to assist them in any way possible.Through our efforts, we hope to make every Liturgy more meaningful, and allow the assembly to connect more closely with Jesus and with one another.
We wear our Name Badges for identification, and we help people find appropriate seating, especially when the Mass is well attended. The offerings of their financial treasures are collected and joined with the rest of the Offertory Gifts at the Mass. At the distribution of the Eucharist, we help direct the assembly as they process forward to their physical joining with Christ. As people exit the Mass, we make sure they have a Bulletin to keep them aware of the events happening at our Parish.
There are no formal meetings. We meet on an "as-needed" basis. When a need does arise because of changes in the Liturgy, or special events like Confirmation, a Parish Mission, etc., then Ushers are notified via e-mail or by letter.
Substitute Ushers are always needed. Holidays offer special opportunities to assist, as the Masses become quite crowded with guests from outside the Parish.
Many of our regular Ushers are also members of other committees and ministry groups. Our example of our how we fulfill our duty will hopefully inspire others to join us or join another ministry at SJR.
