Proclaimers of the Word

Christ is present in the scriptures – the Living Word of God

The scriptures are a source of nourishment, strength and life.  As proclaimers, we have the honour and privilege of proclaiming God’s word at the mass.  When we proclaim, we celebrate with our Parishioners as the Family of God.  We do not just read this Living Word but proclaim it to the assembly to deliver His message with clarity, dignity, conviction and appropriate pace.  God himself speaks through us to His people.  It is therefore important that all who proclaim the Living Word prepare well and understand the scripture being read.
