Sacristans

Preparing the Lord’s Table with Reverence and Care

The Sacristan Ministry quietly serves behind the scenes to ensure that every Mass and liturgical celebration is prepared with reverence and order. Sacristans handle the sacred vessels, altar linens, candles, and other liturgical elements that support the prayerful beauty of the Eucharist and the worship of God.
