Sacristans have an invaluable role in the liturgy.

Sacristans are the behind-the-scenes folks who get everything ready for the liturgy. They will set out the vessels, fill the candles, mark the books and a variety of other tasks. Following the liturgy, the sacristans help with the clean-up and possibly help set up for the next service.

If you are interested in being trained to be a sacristan, contact Ace Tupasi at the Parish office for more information 541-926-1449 or olphpastoralassociate@stmarysalbany.com.
