The sacristan is a lay person who “diligently arranges the liturgical books, the vestments, and other things that are necessary for the celebration of Mass” (GIRM, no. 105a). Working from the sacristy, he or she should be well trained in the complexities of the liturgical actions, as well as those of special Masses or those of greater solemnity, so as to make appropriate provisions. In some parishes, the sacristan also coordinates the decorations of the church. Finally many sacristans serve to coordinate servers, lectors, and others helping during Mass. We have a Sacristan who volunteers her time for each of our church buildings that make up St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish. The 3 Sacristans meet on a quarterly basis with Fr. Sengole
