What is the room where priests vest before mass?

Answer 1

The sacristy is where most of the stuff is kept for Mass: the chalice, vestments, altar cloths, etc. Most priest vest in the sacristy as the vestments are stored there. There are prayers assigned to be said with each vestment. In some monasteries there is a separate vesting room, where they vestments are laid out in a particular pattern, which their chalice on a shelve above it.

Anglican priests, and protestant ministers robe in the vestry (so called because it houses the vestments).

Answer 2

The vestry is where the clergy vests, usually a room near the front of the Church where vestments are stored. The sacristy is another room, usually behind the altar where various things are kept, and may be used as a vestry. The sacristy takes it name from the sacrarium which is contained therein. The sacrarium (also known as a piscina) is a basin with a drain that goes directly into the earth. It is for the disposal of the water used for washing the sacred vessels and linens.
