On January 11, 2015, during Mass for the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord in the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception of the Pontifical North American College (PNAC) in Rome, His Excellency William Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Center conferred the Ministry of Lector to 44 men, one of them being a seminarian from our diocese, Jarad Wolf.

From the press release: During his homily, Bishop Murphy charged those to be installed as Lectors with the two-fold task of growing in their personal relationship with Christ, who is the Word of God, and living a life like John the Baptist, ready to be the voice of the Word of God. As part of the rite, the Bishop placed the Lectionary, from which the readings used in the celebration of Mass are taken, into the hands of each candidate and said, “Take this book of holy Scripture and be faithful in handing on the word of God, so that it may grow strong in the hearts of his people.”
