A Sacristan is one who oversees the sacristy (the place where sacred vessels, candles, holy oils and other things which are used for religious services are kept).

The Sacristan usually arrives about 30 minutes prior to Mass and makes sure the priest has the required readings and other items used in the celebration of Mass.  After Mass, the Sacristan is responsible for returning the items used for Mass to their proper place.
