Laypeople in the Church can and must carry out many instituted ministries, supplementary services, assignments and offices, which, however, should"never become self-referential”, but always tend"to transform society" by bringing Christian values into the world.

He noted that when we speak of Church ministries in general, the thought immediately goes to “instituted” ministries such as the ones of lector, acolyte, and catechist “which are all well known”. This is because all the baptized – whether lay people, celibate, married people, priests, religious – are Christifideles, that is believers in Christ, “and are therefore required to take part in the mission He entrusted to the Church, also through the assumption of specific ministries”.
