How many readers in a Catholic mass?

This may seem like a really stupid question... but how many readers have you asked to be part of your mass?? Thanks!

3.... two readings from the Gospel and 1 reader for the Prayer of the Faithful.

We actually have a 4th who is reading a poem for us... we had to have that 'approved' by the priest.

same here...we have those 4 things that can be 'read'. but we are using 3 people (for now). if u only have 3 people...the responsorial psalm can be done by the cantor or the priest (same probably holds true to the other things as well).

u can also select people to bring down the gifts for communion if u are having a full mass (usually 2 people).
