Sacristan MinistryPreparing God’s House for WorshipThe sacristan has a unique opportunity to pray silently in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament while working and offering service to the Lord in His Sanctuary. Sacristan MinistryThe sacristan is responsible for:
Specific ActivitiesThe responsibilities of the sacristan are performed two days a week. On Monday mornings, the sacristan(s) tidies the worship space after weekend liturgies. On Thursday mornings, the sacristan(s) prepare the sanctuary with clean linens and proper candles, and dusts and mops the floors and other areas and grooms and waters the plants. The sacristan helper has a unique opportunity to pray silently in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament while working and offering service to the Lord in His Sanctuary. Time and TalentsThis ministry is open to both men and women who don’t mind using “elbow grease” in the worship space or doing laundry at home. The energy and desire to push a mop, polish, dust and perform other needed works is the call of the sacristan(s). This ministry thrives on the realization that parishioners will enjoy a clean and lovely worship space because of their works and services. As a team, the sacristan ministry accomplishes what is seldom noticed, a ministry of hospitality similar to our efforts of readying our homes for visitors. Sacristan helpers need several hours a week to perform their tasks and those who wish to launder and iron purificators will need several hours every other month.
