The Cleaning of Altar Linens involves washing and ironing the purificators that are used for wiping the sacred cup during communion, and the towels that are used on the altar by the Priests and the Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion for washing their hands. The linens are taken home once a week after the Sunday Masses, and then returned to the sacristy before Mass the following week.
