The Sacristy

The sacristy is a dedicated room in a church where clergy and altar servers prepare for services. It stores sacred items such as robes, chalices, and vessels used during worship. It also serves as a place to organize and handle liturgical supplies before and after Mass. Typically located near the altar, the sacristy allows clergy to dress, prepare their belongings, and reflect quietly before participating in the service. Its purpose is to facilitate the smooth conduct of religious ceremonies while maintaining the sanctity and order of the worship space.
