Sacristans

"His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master’s joy.’" (Matthew 25:23)

The Eucharist is the center of the Church’s life. Sacristans are servants of Christ and servants for the congregation insofar as they perform the preparations for the Eucharistic Celebration, the Mass. This ministry is essential to the sacramental sharing that is the high point of the Mass. Operating behind the scenes, sacristans work with a prayerful level of reverence and diligence.
