If it is a regularly scheduled Sunday Mass at the time and place appointed by the Bishop, then the readings must be of the Sunday. If the Bishop or priest is having a later Mass just for the RCIA, then they may use any readings approved by the Bishop, check with your local Chancery.
Catholic AnswerDifferent dioceses may have different regulations on when an anticipated Sunday or Holy Day Mass may be celebrated on the day before. It must be late Afternoon or evening, a Saturday Mass celebrated with the weekday (Saturday) readings does NOT count as your Sunday obligation. The important thing is whether the actual Mass being said is the Mass of Sunday or the Holy Day: i.e., it has three readings from the Sunday, the Gloria, Creed, etc. If the Sunday Mass is being celebrated, then it fulfills your obligation. If it is another Mass, say, perhaps a Saturday Mass being celebrated in the afternoon for a wedding, then it would not count for your obligation. If you have a particular question about a particular situation, please ask the priest who will be saying the Mass.

The book used during Mass is called the Roman Missal. It contains the prayers, readings, and rituals used during the celebration of the Eucharist.
In the Catholic church, an ambo is the podium or lectern from which the readings and gospel are read during Mass.
