The Sacristans prepare for, and clean up after, all Masses.
They are tasked with the proper treatment, maintenance and safe keeping of the holy books, vessels, offertory, and incense (when used), including ensuring that the tabernacle is secure.
The sacristan is also the Mass coordinator. Before each Mass, he/she must ensure that everything is in order, and that the Altar Servers, Lectors and Eucharistic Ministers are present and ready to serve.

Lectors are servants of the Word of God. Through study and preparation, Lectors proclaim the sacred scriptures with clarity and conviction, providing spiritual nourishment to the Eucharistic assembly.
Lectors for the weekend Masses are scheduled about once a month. Before rostering new lectors, they are required to be initiated into the ministry. This happens once or twice before the individual is rostered.
