Sacristans

Corpus Christi parishioners who donate their time and talents in service to God and his church through the Sacristan Ministry are our Sacristans.

The role of the Sacristan is to aid the Celebrant in preparation of each mass. Sacristans work behind the scenes in setting up the vestments, the altar, preparation of the Sacramentary and the Lectionary for the Celebrant.  Sacristans also maintain sufficient supplies of altar bread and wine, candles, incense, charcoal, tapers, and lighters. They are responsible for inspecting the altar cloths and linens to keep them clean and in good repair. They ensure the respectful and reverent handling of the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Blood of Christ before and after the mass.
