During the first centuries, all the lessons in the liturgy, including the Epistle and Gospel, were read by the lector. As time passed, the position of lector was diminished. The deacon obtained the office of reading the Gospel, and the reading of the Epistle became the privilege of the subdeacon, and later, the Priests. Today, we have readers who are members of the laity of the church and they are given the privilege to read the readings that precede the Gospel. On April 15, 2012, Charlie Cimmino was installed as a lector during the Ceremony of Rite of Lector by Bishop John Noonan at Mary Mother of God Chapel, San Pedro Retreat Center in Winter Park. This is Charlie’s second rite in becoming a deacon. His first rite was the Rite of Candidacy, and now the Rite of Lector, and then the third rite, the Rite of Acolyte will be scheduled for the fall of this year, all prior to his ordination which is tentatively scheduled for June 8, 2013.
