	Sacristan
		He was the assistant of the sacristan, was subject to the archdeacon, and discharged duties very similar to those of the sacristan.
		The Sodality of St. John Berchmans, known as the Pious Association of Servers of Mass and Sacristans, was founded by Vincent Basile, S.J., missionary Apostolic among the southern Slavs, for lay acolytes, choir boys, sacristans, and all who have any duty to perform in the services of the Church.
		Its object is to induce all its members to perform their duties piously and in a manner befitting the ceremonies in which they participate, for the glory of God and the edification of the faithful.

	The Sacristan and Server
		He should have no difficulty, if the sacristan is a man of order, and with the power of organization, in finding his cassock and surplice on their proper peg and his sanctuary shoes in their box, if the muddy lanes of the parish make such footwear necessary.
		The priest or sacristan responsible for the training will be wise to begin at the beginning, which is to see that his own part in the making ready for a service to be performed reverently and without haste is punctiliously carried out.
		Therefore a sacristan needs the education of residence in a three-ton yacht to qualify him or her for the charge of the circumscribed chamber provided for the accommodation of the articles required.

	"Canon Alberic's Scrapbook" by M. R. James
		The verger or sacristan (I prefer the latter appellation, inaccurate as it may be) was accordingly sent for by the somewhat brusque lady who keeps the inn of the Chapeau Rouge; and when he came, the Englishman found him an unexpectedly interesting object of study.
		Dennistoun was turning to the sacristan with a smile and a jocular remark of some sort on his lips, but he was confounded to see the old man on his knees, gazing at the picture with the eye of a suppliant in agony, his hands clasped, and a rain of tears on his cheeks.
		The sacristan's hands were pressed upon his eyes; his daughter, looking up at the cross on the wall, was telling her beads feverishly.

	James stories
		Dennistoun was turning to the sacristan with a smile and a jocular remark of some sort on his lips, but he was confounded to see the old man on his knees, gazing at the picture with the eye of a suppliant in agony, his hands tightly clasped, and a rain of tears on his cheeks.
		On the way the curious irresolution and sudden determination of the sacristan recurred to Dennistoun, and he wondered in a shamefaced way whether he was being decoyed into some purlieu to be made away with as a supposed rich Englishman.
		The door was opened at this point, and a face looked out, a face far younger than the sacristan's, but bearing something of the same distressing look: only here it seemed to be the mark, not so much of fear for personal safety as of acute anxiety on behalf of another.

		And the sacristan undertook to return the whole of that debt in full chapter, and a deed was made, signed with the seal of the convent, the abbot pretending and not affixing his seal, as if that seal did not apply to him.
		And their moneys were placed in our treasury in the charge of the sacristan, and, what was more absurd, their wives and little ones were received in our refectory in time of war.

		It was nearly five o’clock; the short day was drawing in, and the church began to fill with shadows, while the curious noises—the muffled footfalls and distant talking voices that had been perceptible all day—seemed, no doubt because of the fading light and the consequently quickened sense of hearing, to become more frequent and insistent.
		He heaved a sigh of relief when camera and note-book were finally packed up and stowed away, and hurriedly beckoned Dennistoun to the western door of the church, under the tower.
		He thought, too, that he had heard a hurried dialogue between her and the said sacristan in the passage outside the salle a manger; some words to the effect that ‘Pierre and Bertrand would be sleeping in the house’ had closed the conversation.
