Sacristans

The Sacristans prepares the altar and sanctuary for the celebration of Mass and other major liturgies. This includes preparing the liturgical books, vestments, bread, wine, vessels, linens, seating arrangements, candles, and microphones. The sacristan knows the meaning and purpose of the liturgy as well as the needs of the service and works carefully to provide the celebrant with the liturgical items needed for a meaningful, prayerful, and active liturgy.
