An acolyte was originally a special position in the Church that was given through minor ordination from a bishop to a candidate aspiring to the priesthood. The acolytes specific duty was to assist the priest at mass and hold the candles during the reading of the Gospel. In modern times, due to seminaries being instituted, strict acolytes were no longer available in local parishes. As a result, the men of the parish were given the tasks the acolyte would usually perform and thus the archaic term acolyte has become synonymous with "altar server".

Acolytes lead the priest in, carry books and implements to their needed locations during the service, transfer items, present the offerings for the sacrifice, assist in the purification of the priest's hands and holy vessels, hold the candles during the Gospel and lead the priest out after Mass.
