Lector Keith DeStaebler reads during Mass at St. Anne Church in Garden City, N.Y. With the promulgation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, two readings in English, along with the responsorial psalm were to be read at Sunday Mass, and laypeople were now allowed to proclaim those readings.
