Those parishioners who maintain, secure and prepare the objects used at Mass (metalware, clothing, linens, candles) are known as Sacristans. More importantly, these liturgical ministers take on the role of coordinating and cleaning the vessels used in the distribution of Holy Communion. The requirements are simple - be a member in good standing of the parish and the desire to serve your fellow parishioners in the Ministry. You do not have to be a Minister of Holy Communion to be a Sacristan but you will be expected to learn the different objects used in the Liturgy of the Eucharist, their importance and proper care.
