Sacristans are vital to the celebration of the Mass. They enable priests and deacons to better perform their ministerial duties before, during and after the Mass.

Sacristans set up the sanctuary and the credence table for the Mass, care for the paramenta (the chalices, cups, cruets, flagons, ciborium, purificators, books, and other items) used in the Mass, provide direction to our Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHCs), serve as EMHCs if needed and serve as altar servers.  The sacristan should be familiar with the duties of the other volunteers and help ensure that these duties are being performed. Sacristans must be at least 18 years of age; attend Sacramental Confession at least once per month; and dedicate time to personal prayer daily.
