Sacristans
Sacristans are vital
ministers at each liturgy. Two sacristans serve at each Mass.
They are trained Eucharistic Ministers who are responsible for
the materials and personnel needed for the celebration of the
liturgy. Sacristans arrive at church one hour before their scheduled
Mass to prepare the vessels and linens that are used at that
liturgy. They place the proper items on the Credence table and
the Gift table. They also check in all the liturgical ministers
serving at the Mass. The sacristans distribute the vessels to
the Eucharistic Ministers and oversee the serving of Communion
to the community. At the end of Mass, after the priest or deacon
has purified the vessels, the sacristans store the vessels.
