A sacristan is the person who prepares the altar for Mass, making sure that the correct sacred vessels are at the altar, assuring that the cruets are full of water and wine, sufficient hosts are put out, including the large host for the consecration and the various altar cloths are ready. The person may also be responsible for finding replacements if insufficient Mass servers are present or no lector shows up. A sacristan also assures that the candles are lit. In some case, the sacristan will actually lay out the vestments for the priest and help him vest if needed.
