Seminarians instituted as Lector and Acolyte

Congratulations to two of our seminarians, Yemane Aradom and Marc Pitson, as Bishop Marcus has today conferred on them the Orders of Lector and Acolyte respectively!

The live-streamed ceremony and Mass is available to view here on our YouTube channel Leeds Cathedral Live.

Yemane becomes a Lector, a ‘Reader and bearer of God’s Word’, which is a special office for men within the Christian community, and which in addition to proclaiming God’s Word, also involves instructing children and adults in the Faith and preparing them to receive the Sacraments.

The role of Acolyte conferred on Marc is also a special role in Christian ministry. He will now be able to assist priests and deacons in the Eucharist, giving Holy Communion to the faithful at liturgies and also to the sick.
