Sacristans
The role of the Sacristan is a longstanding ministry within the Catholic Church, with origins stretching back many centuries. Typically serving behind the scenes, Sacristans carry out their responsibilities before and after liturgical services. Their primary duty is to prepare all necessary items for the celebration of the Mass, sacraments, or other liturgical events. This includes tasks such as arranging liturgical books, lighting candles, and setting out sacred vessels and linens. After each celebration, the Sacristan is responsible for returning the used items—such as books, vessels, and altar cloths—to their proper places in the sacristy. They may also need to clean and purify the sacred vessels, and ensure that altar linens like corporals, purificators, and finger towels are set aside for suitable laundering. Sacristans: Bellanto Michelle Rede Maria
