Lector Formation
The Altum Institute collaborates with the Office of Divine Worship to provide training for all lectors that are unable to receive training at their parish or wish to “go deeper” in their understanding of the ministry in which they are serving
Lector Formation Days
Next Training:
English – March 1st, 11am – 1pm
– Catholic Pastoral Center
Spanish – April 5th, 12:00pm- 1:30pm
– Catholic Pastoral Center
The purpose of the lector Training led by the Altum Institute and the Office of Divine Worship is to serve those ministers who are unable to obtain training in their parishes and develop the principles of formation received by those who are able to be trained at their parish.
This training will provide principles and practice which will be nuanced by the pastor of each minister.

F.A.Q.
No. While this training will provide valuable skills and principles as well as practice to speak the Word of God and serve the ministry well, the Pastor has the proper authority to install lectors at his parish. Please reach out to your pastor to ask for his permission to serve at a lector at your parish Masses.
This training is meant to supplement the training of the parishioners of parishes that provide training and serve and a basic training for those parishes that are unable to do so. Questions are encouraged as to help ensure that all levels of understanding are receiving some formation.
