Sacristans

A chalice on the altar

Sacristans are seasoned liturgical ministers, familiar with each ministry’s function and practices. Their service includes setting up the vessels, hosts, and wine needed for each Mass as well as cleaning and putting vessels away. In addition, the sacristan oversees the sign-in process for all minsters and fills any last minute ministerial vacancies at each Mass. This serve assures the dignity and completeness of each liturgical celebration. Formation is provided.
