On Saturday 7 November, Bishop Anthony Randazzo installed five new members to the Ministry of Lector at Our Lady of the Rosary Cathedral, Waitara.
Shayne D'Cunha, Huy Tran and Tân Nguyen are seminarians for Broken Bay, and Eric Leahy and Richard Houwing are preparing to be Permanent Deacons.
The Ministry of Lector is an important step in their formation.
"Eric, Richard, Huy, Tân, and Shayne, the ministry of Lector to which you are called is not merely a step taken to complete the curriculum of diaconal or priestly formation," said Bishop Anthony in his homily. "Nor is it a box to be ticked as you respond to the call to sacred Orders.
"While the sacred Scripture remains at the heart of your intellectual and doctrinal formation, you need not only to demonstrate a capacity to integrate your academic studies, but also to communicate your learning to the people of your own time."
