A sacristan has the primary responsibility for setting up for a Mass or service. He or she makes sure that all assigned ministers are present and, if needed, finds last-minute substitutes. After the liturgy, the sacristan makes sure that everything is cleaned and put away properly. Sacristans are needed for all Masses, weddings, funerals, and other special holy days. Detailed training is required.
We are always looking for generous souls interested in this ministry.
