The sacristy is a room in the church where the vestments, church furnishings, sacred vessels and other church treasures are kept. It is also the place where the clergy and attendants vest and prepare before Mass and other liturgies. The person in charge of the sacristy and its contents is called a sacristan.A staff sacristan serves the assembly by preparing liturgical materials, maintaining, replacing and setting up vestments, vessels and other symbols of our liturgies, replenishing materials such as bread, wine, candles and incense, and is present at major liturgies in order to communicate with and co-ordinate those involved.
