By The Catholic Week Congratulations to Archdiocese of Mobile seminarian Rubén Castañeda, who received the Ministry of Lector on Jan. 12 at the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at the Pontifical North American College at the Vatican, where he is currently studying. Castañeda was installed by Archbishop John J. Kennedy, Secretary of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of Faith. The ministry of lector is conferred upon those who prepare and proclaim readings from Scripture at Mass and other liturgical celebrations. A lector also may recite psalms between the readings and present the intentions for the general intercessions.
