Want to get more involved with Church but don’t know how? Here is an opportunity for you! The Office of Religious Education and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist will be offering a 2-session crash course in lectoring on September 18 and 25th.From 1:30-3:30, followed by evening prayer and light refreshments. Deacon Jeff Mierzejewski, director of the Metropolitan Cantor Institute, will be the presenter. Topics to be covered will include: The place of Scripture in our services; fundamentals of reading in church; the three basic melodies every reader must know; how to use the lectionary and calendar to determine the readings for a particular day; how to prepare to read in church. Byzantine Catholics sing Scripture because it is God’s love song to us…and now you have a chance to sing along with it! For more information, contact Fr. Andrew Summerson at
