The Archdiocese of Louisville’s Office of Worship will be offering two ministry sessions at the Catholic Enrichment Center in August and September. These sessions are open to all involved in these ministries as well as Worship Committee members, clergy and anyone who may be interested in learning more about liturgical ministry.

On Tuesday August 27, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. there will be a session on the Role of the Sacristan. This session will explore the Role of the Sacristan and the many ways this ministry can be expressed in a parish. We will look at the background and development of the ministry of Sacristan in addition to some practical aspects of the role.

On Monday September 23, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. there will be a session on the Role of the Lector. This session will explore the Role of the Lector, the Role scripture plays in the celebration of the Liturgy, the
presence of Christ in the proclamation, and practical tips for preparation.

Both sessions will be held at the Catholic Enrichment Center, 3146 W. Broadway, Louisville, KY  40211

There is no charge for these sessions as they are funded by your support of the Catholic Services Appeal.
