Our sacristans are entrusted with the ministry of preparing for the Sunday celebration and making sure all is in order when the Celebration is finished. The variety of duties include setting the altar, preparing the bread and wine, marking the liturgical books, readying the chalices and other items necessary for Communion, assisting at the altar before the Consecration, filling in or asking for replacements for other ministries that are not present at Mass and cleaning up afterwards. This ministry is open to both men and women.
