The Ministry of Sacristan
Sacristans assist and work under the direction of the pastor to prepare for Mass and help maintain the Sanctuary. Duties include setting the Lectionary and Sacramentary for Mass; setting out enough hosts and wine for the consecration; setting out clean hand towels, purificators and corporals; ensuring that all the liturgical ministers have arrived for Mass; and lighting the candles prior to the beginning of Mass. A Sacristan should have knowledge of the Liturgical Calendar and the proper process for cleaning ciboria, chalices, purificators and altar linens. Additionally, it is helpful for a Sacristan to have understanding of special celebrations in the Church such as Ash Wednesday, Christmas Eve & Christmas Day, Triduum and Easter Masses. Sacristans generally arrive at Mass 30 minutes prior to Mass to set up and stay 30 minutes afterward to clean up.
