Sacristans

Ministry Lead: Irene Shields 

Sacristans assist the priests and other ministers in the immediate preparation for Mass. This ministry is a very special and important part of service for the liturgy.

Sacristans arrive about 40 minutes before Mass to prepare the altar and sanctuary. Before Mass begins, the sacristan prepares the bread and wine to be consecrated during the liturgy and sets out the proper linens and vessels. After Mass, the sacristan returns the sacred vessels and articles for worship to their proper places.  

We will provide training to anyone who is interested in being a sacristan. 

We are currently looking for someone to serve in this position on the 4th and 5th Saturdays of each month.
