As Holy Week and Easter Week draw nearer, lectors are preparing to do their best during this important time. Father Edward Danylo Evanko, former Broadway actor and singer, gave a group of lectors some tips.

"Read as if each new sentence is a new revelation," encouraged Father Edward Evanko, pastor of Holy Dormition of the Mother of God Ukrainian Catholic Church.

The clergyman, a former Broadway actor and singer, had been asked by Father John Horgan, pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul, to impart tips from his 40 years of stage experience.

"It's not just a matter of public speaking; lectors help us to pray and to understand the richness of God's word," Father Horgan commented.
