OLF LECTORS

Fr Jon,
Dan , Lectors:

I have no idea why lectors need to be on the sanctuary after there readings are done? I continue to see the same ones remain throughout the entire Mass. I have always been taught this is a holy area, and when it is continually habitated by laity, it confuses the role of these folks, plus a distraction.

The lector today at the 1230 Mass spoke, communicated, gestured to her daughter, whom was serving as an altar server during Mass. She wasn't needed as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist as well. Even more awkward and perhaps sacrilegious was she remained for the special prayer of the Divine Mercy, while the Eucharist was exposed and sat the entire time.
