Our Eucharistic Ministers, also known as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, assist in the distribution of Holy Communion and the Precious Blood during our Masses.

Our Lectors participate in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by reading Holy Scriptures, offering the Prayer of the Faithful, and otherwise assisting the Celebrant when requested. New Lectors supplement their knowledge of the parts of the Mass (both routine and special) in an individual orientation and then join their fellow lay ministers in periodic refreshers. After orientation, Lectors for Sunday masses are scheduled quarterly to serve one mass of their choice (typically serving 3-4 times in each 3-month period). Lectors for weekday Masses and Holy Days of Obligation are scheduled weekly.

If you are interested in serving as a Lector, please call the Rectory (973-226-0221); parish staff will help new Lectors connect with the appropriate Coordinator.
