Ministry of
Lector Installation at
Mount St. Mary’s Seminary
The Most
Reverend Elden F. Curtiss, archbishop of
Omaha, recently installed 26 seminarians
into the ministry of lector at Mount St.
Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Md, on
April 23, 2004 .The ceremony took place in
the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception.
Seminarians normally receive this ministry
at the end of their first year of
theological studies. Lectors are appointed
for the task of reading the word of God in
the liturgical assembly. Their formation
at the Mount helps seminarians cultivate
knowledge and love of the sacred
Scriptures, preparing them not only to
read the word of God, but to assimilate
that word in their hearts.

theology installed into the ministry of
lector were Denis Marcel Beauregard (Br.
Andrew) and Christopher Michael Grant (Br.
Benedict) of the diocese of Fall
