Lay people who possess the required qualities can be admitted permanently to
the ministries of lector and acolyte.⁴³⁶ When the necessity of the
Church warrants it and when ministers are lacking, lay persons, even if they
are not lectors or acolytes, can also supply for certain of their offices, namely,
to exercise the ministry of the word, to preside over liturgical prayers, to
confer Baptism, and to distribute Holy Communion in accord with the
prescriptions of law.”⁴³⁷
