FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a surplice for an altar server?

A surplice is a white, loose-fitting liturgical garment worn over a cassock by altar servers, clergy, and choir members. It is typically knee-length with wide sleeves and is often made from lightweight fabric. For altar servers, the surplice represents purity and a readiness to serve at the altar. It is traditionally worn with a black or red cassock underneath, especially in more formal or traditional liturgical settings. The surplice helps distinguish those participating directly in the sacred liturgy.

Can altar servers wear lace surplice?

Yes, altar servers can wear a lace surplice, but this depends on the customs and preferences of the particular church or parish. Lace surplices, often adorned with decorative patterns on the sleeves and hem, are typically used in more traditional or high liturgical settings. While lace adds a touch of elegance and tradition, many churches prefer simple, plain surplices for altar servers to emphasize humility and uniformity. If lace is permitted, it is usually modest and not overly ornate.

What are five duties of an altar server?

Altar servers assist the priest during the celebration of the Mass and other liturgical functions. Five common duties include: 1. Carrying the cross and candles during processions. 2. Holding the missal or prayer book for the priest during prayers. 3. Preparing the altar by setting out the chalice, cruets, and other sacred vessels. 4. Assisting with the lavabo, the washing of the priest’s hands. 5. Ringing the bells at key moments of the Mass, such as during the consecration. These duties require attentiveness, reverence, and proper training.

Are female altar servers allowed?

Yes, female altar servers are allowed in the Roman Catholic Church, as well as in many other Christian denominations. Since 1994, the Vatican has given permission for girls to serve at the altar, provided the local bishop permits it. Many parishes now include both boys and girls in their altar server programs. However, some traditionalist parishes may still choose to have only male servers. The inclusion of female servers is seen as a way to promote wider participation and service in the Church.

What are the 5 ideals of an altar server?

The five ideals of an altar server typically include: 1. Reverence – Serving with deep respect for God and the sacred liturgy. 2. Punctuality – Arriving on time and being prepared to serve. 3. Responsibility – Fulfilling duties accurately and reliably. 4. Cleanliness – Wearing proper vestments and maintaining personal cleanliness. 5. Teamwork – Cooperating with other servers, clergy, and liturgical ministers. These ideals help altar servers carry out their role with dignity and devotion.
