On Oct.8, Bishop Provost, bishop of the Diocese of Lake Charles, presided at the Mass for the Institution of Lectors. The Rite of Institution of Lectors is one of the ministries a seminarian must receive before ordination to the diaconate and priesthood. Each seminarian receiving the ministry of lector was instructed by Bishop Provost to, “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.” Pictured, from left, are Very Rev.
