LECTORS Be the Voice That Welcomes the Word In every celebration of the Eucharist, God speaks to His people through the proclamation of Scripture. A Lector has the beautiful responsibility of becoming an instrument through whom the Word of God is shared with the community. In our campaign of being a Welcoming Church, every voice matters. As a Lector, you help bring Scripture to life - not simply by reading words from a book, but by proclaiming God’s message with faith, understanding, and reverence. Through your preparation and service, you invite others to listen, reflect, and encounter God’s love. Being a Lector is an opportunity to deepen your own relationship with Scripture while helping others hear the hope, wisdom, and encouragement found in God’s Word. Each reading proclaimed is an invitation for hearts to be opened and lives to be transformed. What you can do: • Proclaim the First and Second Readings at Mass and liturgical celebrations • Understand the meaning and message of God’s Word • Serve with reverence, confidence, and humility • Participate in training and formation to grow as a minister of the Word Who can join: Anyone who: • Has a desire to serve God and the Church • Is willing to grow in faith and knowledge of Scripture • Is committed to preparing and proclaiming the Word with care • Wants to share God’s message with the parish community No special experience is required - only a willing heart, a love for God’s Word, and the desire to serve. Step forward. Let God speak through you. Join the Lector Ministry and become a voice that shares His Word with love, faith, and purpose.
As we reach the final day of June, our hearts turn once more in gratitude to the fathers among us. Father’s Day, celebrated earlier this month on the 21st, gave us a special moment to pause and honour the men who guide, provide, and love so faithfully - but gratitude for fathers is not meant to be confined to a single day. To every father in our parish family: thank you. Thank you for the quiet sacrifices made each day, often without recognition. Thank you for the wisdom shared, the patience shown, and the steady presence that grounds your families. Whether you are a father, grandfather, godfather, or a father figure who has stepped in to love and guide a child not your own, your role reflects something sacred - a reflection of God the Father’s own love for us. As this month comes to a close, let us continue to hold our fathers in prayer, asking the Lord to strengthen them in their vocation, to grant them wisdom in moments of difficulty, and to bless them with joy in the gift of fatherhood. Let us also remember in a special way the fathers who have gone before us, whose love continues to shape who we are. May our gratitude for fathers extend beyond Father’s Day, woven into how we honour and support them throughout the year.
We give thanks to God for the beautiful KAGAPE Celebration last Sunday. It was a joyful gathering of faith, culture, fellowship, and thanksgiving as our community came together to celebrate the blessings of the harvest season. Through the spirit of Kaamatan, Gawai, and Panen, we were reminded of the importance of gratitude, unity, and sharing the blessings God has given us. The joy, laughter, and fellowship shared among everyone reflected the beauty of our community living out faith together.
The Joyful Sound of the Bells During the Gloria As we sing the Gloria, the joyful ringing of the bells fills our church with celebration and praise. The bells remind us of the angels’ joyful proclamation: “Glory to God in the highest, and peace to His people on earth.” Each ring is a beautiful expression of our thanksgiving and our joy in God’s presence. It calls our hearts to rejoice, lifting our prayers and praises to heaven as we celebrate the greatness and love of our Lord. In the Church, bells are especially rung during solemn celebrations and great feasts as a sign of joy, honour, and celebration. The Gloria bell is traditionally used during the singing of the Gloria, especially on solemn occasions such as Christmas, Easter Sunday, Pentecost, and other important feasts of the Church. Its joyful sound reminds us that heaven and earth unite in giving glory to God. The sound of the bells is more than a tradition - it is a joyful call to prayer. Each ring invites us to be present, to rejoice, and to remember that we are part of the Church’s celebration of God’s love. May the sound of the bells continue to remind us that we are a people of hope, faith, and joy - always proclaiming the glory of God in our lives.
