The Sacristy

The Cathedral sacristy is situated immediately behind the Lady Chapel. It does not form part of the public part of the Cathedral. The main ‘inner’ sacristy is the area where priests vest before Mass, and the small ‘outer’ sacristy is the working area where most of the preparations for services and other cleaning or maintenance work is carried out.

The Fitzgerald Chalice iis one of a number items from the Cathedral's treasury.

The Cathedral’s treasury includes a number of important artefacts stretching back over 600 years.

We hope to include some of these items on this website in the future.
