CATHOLIC VOCABULARY
This Week’s Term: SACRISTY
A “sacristy” is a room in a church where the
sacred ministers prepare for Mass and also
where the items needed for worship are
stored. Sacristies are often connected to the
sanctuary, and in St. Barnabas we have one
on each side. Usually one is designated as a
“work sacristy” and the other as a “vesting
sacristy”. In St. Barnabas there is also a
(vesting) sacristy in the back of the church,
near the confessional, in what was originally the baptistery. The word “sacristy” comes
from a similar Medieval Latin word that
means “vestry”.

REMINDER! Lenten Rules
Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. In addition, Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence.
The norms on fasting are obligatory from age 18 until age 59. Pregnant women and others for whom fasting would be perilous to their health are exempted. Those fasting are permitted to eat one full meal; two smaller meals may also be taken, but not to equal a full meal.
The norms concerning abstinence from meat are binding for all from age 14 onwards. Broths made from meat (as long as there are no pieces of meat in it) are permissible according to the letter of the law, though perhaps not fully coherent with its spirit. Vegetarians do well on days of abstinence to give up a certain food or dish that they regularly enjoy, since they already give up meat, not for penitential reasons, but as a way of life.
