Please tell me that these Sunday “Guest Speakers” are not talking during the Mass, namely the Homily?
Among many other that are seen, this is a Liturgical abuse that one has a duty to report to the local Bishop, followed by the CDW.
The GIRM states the following:
*66. The Homily should ordinarily be given by the priest celebrant himself. He may entrust it to a concelebrating priest or occasionally, according to circumstances, to the deacon, but never to a lay person.65 In particular cases and for a just cause, the homily may even be given by a Bishop or a priest who is present at the celebration but cannot concelebrate.

I am pasting this from the website under “Mass” from their sidebar. It does not enable me to link directly to this. Sorry about the formatting - it was in a table, but I think you get the idea.
A unique aspect of Sunday Mass at St. Joan of Arc are the challenging presentations given by guest speakers and SJA’s pastors. This section of our webpage announces upcoming speakers. Please join us.
