The sacristans are the dedicated men and women who work behind the scenes to set up everything that is needed to make our liturgy run smoothly. They will set out the vessels, books, wine, and bread used for Mass. They also wash the bowls and cups after the extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion purify them.

Being a sacristan involves time before Mass to get everything ready and a little bit after Mass to tidy things up before the next celebration.

The sacristan oversees the other ministries to make sure all of the other areas of ministry are taken care of.

Because this ministry carries a greater responsibility for the liturgy, dedicated people are always in need. Please give Beth a call at the office 743-4652 or email bberger@sttoms-purdue.org.
