LITURGY CORNER
Liturgical Furnishings: Announcement Stand
Among the furnishings in our music area is a relatively simple stand that serves several important purposes during and before Mass. Commonly called our announcement stand, it might also be described as a cantor stand or lectern. While it may not attract much attention, its location and purpose reflect some important distinctions in Catholic worship.
