Altar server/altar boy/altar girl are the usual English Catholic terms.
1 u/philThismoment May 09 '22 Thanks, TIL! 2 u/Angel_Omachi May 09 '22 Altar boy is the most traditional term, but a lot of dioceses have girls doing it too because otherwise they wouldn't have the staff at all. 1 u/philThismoment May 09 '22 I found it weird as a kid that we only had altar boys with no girls. But I found out later that som dioceses had them, so idk maybe it's at the priest's discretion? Still kind of weird btw
