These ministers arrive for Mass early and stay late, in order to ready the worship space, the sacred vessels and elements used during the Liturgy, to confirm there are sufficient liturgical ministers to serve, and to tend to other duties associated with the liturgical celebrations. After Mass, vessels are cleaned, and other tasks are performed to leave things ready for the next Mass. These ministers choose when they serve: for Sunday Masses, for Holy Days, for funerals or for weddings.
