Sacristy

The purpose of this ministry is to keep the Sanctuary and all its furnishing clean and beautiful for the glory of God.

On a weekly basis, teams of ladies dust all the furniture in the sanctuary, the piano, the cabinets in the vestibule, and includes all that is in the Sacristy.

All the Holy Water fonts are cleaned and filled. All chalices, patens, cruets and ciboria are washed. All the towels are replaced with clean ones and all of the soiled towels and purificators are taken home to be laundered.

On occasion, the statues need to be taken down to be oiled. The maintenance department takes them down and replaces them after the ladies have cleaned them.

Full instructions in what and how these tasks are to be done is kept by the chairperson and may be obtained if you should want to join the team of ladies who perform these tasks
