Cathedral of The Immaculate Conception, Albany

The sacristan serves as an arranger for worship services, ensuring that vestments and linens are arranged and ready, that altar vessels are kept safe, that consumables like altar wines and altar bread are in adequate supply, and that the church is kept secure and in veneration shape. The sacristan needs to work with and communicate well with the liturgy coordinator, the rector, the deacons and pastors to attend to the environment of worship. A sacristan should have a solid understanding of how liturgies flow, the order of Mass and services, and the flexibility to adapt in situations where something unexpected arises. A sacristan’s schedule is very dependent on the church’s worship schedule. Hours will include weekends, evenings and holidays and will vary during the seasons of Christmas, Holy Week and Easter. Working hours require opening the church an hour before confessions or celebration of any Mass and close church after liturgy. A bi-weekly time sheet will be kept by the employee and signed by the Parish Secretary.

• Opening the Cathedral. Preparing the altar and worship space for all liturgies -weekday and weekly liturgies, funerals and special feast days, wedding, funerals, holy days and holiday services; laying out linens, hosts and sacramental wine, vestments, special seating, offertory tables and linens, and worship aides; cleaning up used vessels and locking up church.

Whenever flowers are brought into the church complex, responsibility needs to be taken for their watering and disposal.
• Take inventory. Sacristans set up and supervise the regular replenishment of materials like wine, bread, candles, charcoal. They procure annual items like palms and the paschal candle. Every few years, they take an inventory of church property. This might include a review of insurance policies, appraisals of old objects, and setting priorities for acquiring new things or replacement items.

Responsibilities include the opening and closing of facilities, setting up objects, welcoming other ministers, participating in certain parts of the rite (ringing bells from the tower or lighting new charcoal at various points of a Mass) and returning all objects to their proper place after a liturgy.
