Best Answer

Sacristy.

It is a room of preparation and (ideally) silent prayer. This is the room where the priest or sacristan (usually a lay person put in charge of maintenance of the sacristy and liturgical items) prepares the vessels and linens for Mass, and where the priest vests (puts on vestments) for Mass. In many Churches there are two or more sacristies, consisting of the main sacristy where liturgical vestments and vessels are stored and where the priest vests for Mass, an altar server sacristy where altar servers vest in cassock and surplice, or other specified robe, and sometimes even a third sacristy for work (cleaning candles, vestments, etc.).
