About Sacristan

A sacristan is the person who keeps the keys and knows every Mass time. This site tries to be that person for 134,030 churches in 194 countries.

Where the hours come from

Most timetables on Sacristan are read from something a diocese or a parish published itself: the diocesan parish finder, the bishops' conference directory, the parish website or bulletin. Where none of those is online, we use public Mass-time directories, named on the church page, and an official source replaces them as soon as we find one. We do not invent times. Each church page names its source, links to it where we can, and shows the date we last read it. When a schedule has not been confirmed for three months we say so on the page rather than pretending it is current.

Church buildings, coordinates and many addresses come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL). Administrative names come from each country's statistics office. Photographs are hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under their own licences, credited on every page.

What it is not

Sacristan is not an official publication of any diocese and is not affiliated with the Church. Parishes change their hours for feasts, holidays, summer and priests' illnesses without telling anyone but the people at the door. Before travelling for a Mass, check the parish's own site or call the office; the number is on the page.

Who makes it

Sacristan is made by Bruno Montibeller, as an independent project. It has no advertising and no paid listings. Corrections from readers and parishes are welcome at hello@sacristan.io; a parish can claim its page and confirm its own schedule.

Countries are added one at a time; a country is added when we can read its diocesan directories directly. Where a diocese publishes only a parish list without hours, its churches are listed without a timetable and marked as such.
