Sacristans
The sacristan is a lay person who “diligently arranges the liturgical books, the vestments, and other things that are necessary for the celebration of Mass” (GIRM, no. 105a). Working from the sacristy, he or she should be well trained in the complexities of the liturgical actions, as well as those of special Masses or those of greater solemnity, so as to make appropriate provisions. In some parishes, the sacristan also coordinates the decorations of the church. Finally many sacristans serve to coordinate servers, lectors, and others helping during Mass. We have a Sacristan who volunteers her time for each of our church buildings that make up St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish. The 3 Sacristans meet on a quarterly basis with Fr. Sengole

Holy Day of Obligation
-
Every Sunday in the Catholic Church is the day of the Lord. The entire day is dedicated to spiritual exercises and devoted in gratitude to the Lord. “Sunday is the day on which the paschal mystery is celebrated in light of the apostolic tradition and is to be observed as the foremost holy day of obligation in the universal Church." Church law directs Catholics to their obligation to worship God on Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation by attending Mass. This follows from the fact that in the Mass it is Christ Himself who worships the Father, joining our worship to His. In no other way is it possible to adequately give thanks to God for the blessings of creation, redemption and our sanctification than by uniting our offerings to that of Jesus Christ Himself. The following are Holy Days of Obligation as well as special solemnities or feast days in the 2022 Liturgical Year:
- December 25, 2024 - Christmas (Holy Day of Obligation) Celebrates the birth of our Savior.
- January 1, 2025 - Mary, Mother of God (Holy Day of Obligation). This solemnity honors Mary as the Mother of God, acknowledging that Christ was, indeed, fully human and fully divine from the moment of His conception.
- February 14, 2024 - Ash Wednesday. The first day of Lent and a call for us to turn away from sin and to be faithful to the Gospel

"On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinder the worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord's Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriate relaxation of mind and body" (CCC,2185). Sunday is traditionally consecrated by Christian piety to good works and humble service of the sick, the infirm, and the elderly. Christians will also sanctify Sunday by devoting time and care to their families and relatives, often difficult to do on other days of the week. Sunday is a time for reflection, silence, cultivation of the mind, and meditation which furthers the growth of the Christian interior life" (CCC,2186). "Sanctifying Sundays and holy days requires a common effort. Every Christian should avoid making unnecessary demands on others that would hinder them from observing the Lord's Day" (CCC,2187).
