Time Commitment:
- An annual schedule is established for cleaning the church and preparing linens
- The church is cleaned every other week and linens are washed and ironed weekly
- Sacristans work in teams of two to three persons
- Each team typically needs 1 1/2 hours to clean the church every fourth to sixth week
- Individual sacristans wash and iron the linens as scheduled. It typically requires two hours to complete this task
- Preparing the altar and washing the vessels requires the sacristan to arrive at least 15 minutes before Mass and to remain 15 minutes or so after Mass
