Thirty-three men including seminarians and men in formation for the permanent diaconate received the ministry of lector Sept. 14 in St. Martin’s Chapel at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. Bishop Edward Malesic of the Diocese of Greensburg conferred the ministry amid family and friends of the men. As lectors they will proclaim the Word of God in liturgies and they continue their formation at St. Charles toward ordination as priests and deacons. (Photos by Sarah Webb)
