According to recent Vatican directives, only ordained ministers (deacons, priests, bishops, etc.) are to purify the sacred vessels, including the ciboriums used to distribute the Eucharist. However, in practice, the priest may purify only the chalice and paten and will leave the ciboriums for the sacristan or Eucharistic ministers to purify.
