The Church introduced lectors in the mid 1960s in preparation for the change from Latin to the vernacular. Originally, the lector would read the Epistle and Gospel in the local language at the same time the priest read them in Latin at the altar. Prior to that the priest would read the Sunday readings in Latin and then again in the local language from the pulpit. Once the language change was made, lectors continued to read the first and second readings and the priest would then read the Gospel.
They are lay people called Lectors or Readers who read the readings before the Gospel.
Saint Sabas (or Sabbas) the Lector is the patron saint of lectors and torture victims.
