Proclaiming the Word of God

They also lead the assembled in the Prayers of the Faithful in the absence of a Deacon. This ministry exists to represent the assembled faithful, in service to, and in collaboration with, the Celebrant, in the joyful re-presentation of the main event at Calgary, where Christ sacrificed Himself for the redemption of all.
