Sacristans

A good sacristan is a true gift to any Church because they fulfill a true liturgical function. The Sacristan ensures that the things necessary for worship are always available, and carefully arranges the liturgical books making all the divisions. He or she also lays out the vestments, and other things necessary in the celebration of Mass such as cruets, chalices, ciboria, linens, oils, processional crosses, candles and torches. The Sacristan under the general direction of the Clergy undertakes the overall preparation of liturgical celebrations, including all that is needed for all masses including daily and weekend masses as well as Holy Days and other masses outside the normal schedule.
