Parishioners who have been trained read scriptures and sometimes prayers, as well as assist during the service. Most wear vestments and participate in the processional, but some parishioners will come from the pews to read scriptures. Lay Eucharistic Ministers assist the clergy by distributing communion wine.  Lay Readers also host the annual St. Francis Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper.  All are welcome to participate, please contact the church office for more information.
