Sacristans Ministry

Preparing God’s House for Worship

The 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 Ministry

The sacristan is responsible for:

• Caring and maintaining MSLRP's sacred vessels, vestments, linens, oils, holy water, and all liturgical items.
• Providing a clean and tidy worship space, including the sanctuary, the shrine, the gathering area, and the two sacristies.
• Ensuring that all items required for our liturgies are in adequate supply.

Time and Talents

This 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 perform needed works is the call of the sacristan(s). This ministry thrives on the realization that parishioners will enjoy Mass 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 are needed several hours a week to perform their tasks and those who wish to launder and iron purificators will need several hours every other month.
