The Sacristan is responsible for setting the sanctuary and altar with all the vessels and components necessary for Mass, ensures the church is prepared for parishioners, and serves as a liaison between priest and other liturgical ministers. 

The word Sacristan comes from the Latin word, “sacer”, meaning “sacred.” The area where they conduct their most frequent work is in the “sacristy”, literally meaning “a place for preparing holy things.”  

The duties of the Sacristan are to be approached with great attention, care, and reverence, as sacred vessels must be handled and work is carried out before the Lord on His holy altar.
