SATURDAY EVENING SACRISTAN   We are in need of a sacristan for the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Saturdays.  This is a very important job; the sacristan is responsible for most of the practical details of getting us ready for Mass, and a good sacristan frees me up to think about the things I need to think about.  The commitment is every Saturday.  If you think this would be something you would like to do, please speak with me.   Fr. Stef
