What is it?

 

Sacristans play a vital behind-the-scenes role in the liturgy by preparing for Mass and ensuring all necessary items are ready. This includes setting up the altar, preparing sacred vessels, and arranging liturgical books. Sacristans serve at weekend and daily Masses and may also assist with special celebrations like weddings and funerals.
