TO: All Blessed Sacrament Lectors
FROM: Valerie Milano, Lector Coordinator
RE: New Quarterly Schedule

I hope everyone had a great summer and is ready for the upcoming schedule.
Please read the list and update any changes on your personal information that might apply, i.e. e-mail address, change of address and telephone number; then please inform me as soon as possible.

If you haven’t placed an order already, we are requesting that all lectors purchase the new Liturgy Training Publications workbook for Lectors and Gospel readers. The cost is $13. Of course, missals are available at the Rectory office for $4, but this workbook is the Proclaimers best friend. The workbook can be purchased by phone at 800-933-1800 or by fax at 800-933-7094. Better yet, contact me. We can obtain a discount if we purchase five or more books.

If you have not already done so, please welcome our new lector members with whom Neita Varona had been meeting Max Pierce, Jerry Trahan, Rosemary Cabanas and returning Ivy Mooney. A huge thank you to Neita for her continuing training.

I would like to thank Meghan Edmonds who has recently moved away. She has been an asset to this ministry but will be back to help out with Carnival. She has been a long time supporter & carnival volunteer as well as Proclaimer of the Epistles. When you see her during carnival weekend, please thank her for her past commitment. We thank her for both her time and love for the Blessed Sacrament community.

As you are aware, our parish carnival is right around the corner, starting October 19th-21st. As you are also aware, I have been chairing this fundraiser for many years. If you haven’t contacted me to become involved, please do so. I can surely use your help and support. I am still looking for many able bodies to man booths (esp. the Hamburger booth which is being organized by the English and Spanish Lectors). Please read the bulletin for many other ways in which you can become involved.

As always, it is your responsibility to find a replacement for yourself if you are unable to read at your scheduled Mass. You will see enclosed, a Lector availability list displaying the Masses for which the readers are available. And as always, if you relocate, change your telephone number or if your scheduled Masses are no longer compatible for you, please inform me as soon as you are able so that the requested changes can be reflected on the next listings.

God bless each and everyone of you!

Valerie Milano
