This ministry is basically the “housekeeping” of the sacristy and the supplies and materials that ensure appropriate and reverential services are provided for the faith community. Sacristans set up the altar and environs for Mass, replace candles and altar cloths, and prepare the sacred bread and wine for the celebration of the Eucharist. Volunteers are needed, as every Mass, on the weekends especially, must be covered. A schedule is worked out around the preferences of the volunteers, and “mentoring” is provided as long as necessary. This effort takes only a few minutes of your time weekly, and provides a tremendous service to the priests and people of Our Lady of Victory Parish.
Please call the Parish Office at 508.775.5744 if you are interested in serving in this ministry, or send an email to ministries@olvparish.org.
