Sacristans, a volunteer Ministry of secular service to the church. What you see on the Altar and Credence Table is the responsibility of Sacristans. Sacristans prepare the Altar for the Lord's Banquet. You will see them before and after Mass as they prepare and clean the Altar.
Sacristans work in conjunction with other Ministries doing whatever is necessary to insure a reverent and a joyful service. Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals, Confirmation and First Communion.
Sacristans are men and women of the parish who have been Confirmed. They are trained on how to set up Mass and how to care for the Sacred Vessels. The Head Sacristan is responsible for training and scheduling the Sacristans.
