Readers

Father is having the deacon candidates do all the readings at this time. 

The readers are the individuals who read the Word of the Lord during Mass.  This function, by tradition, has been a ministerial role in the Church, so the readers are able to read the first two readings, while the Celebrant or Deacon reads the Gospel.

Readers should show a reverence for the readings by being properly attired and acting in a manner respectful of their role in bring the first part of the Liturgy of the Word to the congregation.
