Sacristans

Sacristans assist, facilitate and provide support and coordination for other liturgical ministries. In addition, they make the necessary preparations for liturgical activities. In all situations, it is their duty to find workable solutions so that the liturgy is conducted as planned and the assembly may reverently, without interruption, worship, praise and invite God’s presence into their lives.

Sacristans prepare and check that all vessels and resources are ready to meet the needs of the liturgy. The minimum time commitment is about one to two Masses per month. Daily Mass sacristans serve once a week.  Sacristans are also needed for special liturgies, funerals, and liturgical events. Parishioners who have served for at least two years as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are invited to prayerfully consider joining the sacristan ministry.
