Passiontide 2010
The ministry of sacristan is an integral part of the community's preparation for worship. Some responsibilities of the sacristan might include: opening the church, lighting the worship space, decorating the sanctuary, preparing the necessary articles [vessels, vestments, bread, wine, water, linens, candles, incense, ritual texts, etc.] for the celebration of the liturgy, clean up and storage of articles, the proper care of altar linens, and securing the church building.
During the Most Holy Days of Christmas and the Sacred Triduum we also enlist the help of additional volunteers to assist with cleaning and decorating the church.
