Sacristans can be individuals or families that help Father by setting up before the weekend and Holy Day masses. Our sacristans take care of setting out the hosts and wine as well as organize everything that Father needs during mass such as cups, purificators, crosses for Eucharistic ministers, etc on the credence table. There is a clear set of instructions along with pictures so you know exactly what is needed. You will be trained by a current sacristan.
