FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes, altar servers can wear albs. In fact, albs are one of the most common vestments worn by altar servers in many Catholic and Christian churches today. The alb is a long, white robe that symbolizes purity and is often tied at the waist with a cincture. It is a simpler and more modern alternative to the traditional cassock and surplice. Many parishes use albs for both altar servers and other lay ministers because of their clean, uniform appearance and symbolic meaning.
An altar server alb can be worn by any properly trained person who is serving at the altar during Mass, regardless of age or gender, as long as they are fulfilling the role of an altar server. This includes children, teenagers, and adults. The alb is not restricted to ordained clergy and may also be worn by lay ministers such as lectors or extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, depending on the customs of the parish. The key requirement is that the person wearing the alb is participating in a liturgical role with reverence and respect.
The alb symbolizes purity, baptism, and new life in Christ. Its white color reflects the soul’s cleanliness and the sacredness of service at the altar. It is rooted in the tradition of the white garments worn at baptism, reminding both the server and the congregation of the call to live a holy life. By wearing the alb, altar servers visibly express their role in serving God and participating in the sacred liturgy with dignity.
Yes, clergy albs are traditionally white, as white symbolizes purity, holiness, and the resurrection of Christ. The alb’s color is not usually changed to match liturgical seasons. Instead, colored vestments like the chasuble or stole worn over the alb will reflect the season or feast day (e.g., green for Ordinary Time, purple for Lent, red for Pentecost). While decorative trims or lace may vary slightly, the base color of the alb remains white or off-white in nearly all liturgical traditions.
Historically, altar serving was limited to boys because it was seen as a possible first step toward the priesthood, which is only open to men in the Roman Catholic Church. However, this has changed in many places. Since 1994, the Vatican has officially allowed girls to serve at the altar if the local bishop permits it. Many dioceses and parishes now include both boys and girls as altar servers. That said, some traditionalist or conservative churches still maintain the practice of having only boys serve. The decision is often based on local custom and the bishop’s directives.
