The first thing that the priest puts on is called a vestment and it is the white robe, called an alb. (this represents baptism).
The next thing he puts on is called a cincture. This is the rope that hangs around his waist.
Then he puts on is called a stole (the scarf like item of clothing) and it is the priests' way of saying "Jesus, be with me today as I celebrate this mass."
The last vestment he puts on is called a chausable (the priest generally wears a green chausable during the churches 'ordinary time'). See Catholic Encyclopedia article below:
A priest normally wears an alb which is a long white robe that falls to his ankles, it is usually fastened with a cincture - a white rope around his waist. Over that he wears a stole, which is usually a narrow band in the color of the Mass he is celebrating (for instance, white for Easter, violet for Lent, green for ordinary time, red for a martyr, etc.). Over that he wears a chausable, which is a large cape like affair also in the color of the Mass. For the Mass celebrated before Vatican Council II (the Extraordinary Form of the Mass) he would also wear a maniple, which is just a short version of the stole tied to his forarm, and an amice, which is long rectangle of linen tied around the neck.
The item of priestly vestments you refer to is the "surplice". The surplice is a simple loose fitting garment of white cotton with bell shaped sleeves. The ends of the sleeves and hem are most often adorned with white lace or embroidery. It is worn over the priests black robe (soutane or cassock) when he is administering any of the sacraments of the Church but not while he is celebrating the Mass. There is another priestly garment the "dalmatic", which nowadays is almost indistinguishable from the surplice. Some of the assisting priests may wear the dalmatic during the Mass. During the mediaeval era, the surplice was worn by the clergy over their vestments to ward of the cold in the draughty Gothic churches and cathedrals.
The usual garment that anybody starts with is a cassock. Over that the priest and assistant priests or deacons would wear an alb. The servers and anyone in minor orders could either wear an alb or a surplice. Over the alb, a deacon would wear a stole crossed from one shoulder, and over that a dalmatic. Priests or bishops would wear the stole hanging straight down (in the older rite, the priests' stole would be crossed on his chest), and a chasuble over that. In the older rite, and optionally in the newer rite, they would wear a maniple on their left forearm, it's a small stole-like garment that hangs from the forearm.
The outer garment is called the chasuble
The outermost garment worn by a priest while saying Mass is called a chasuble.
Anyone may serve at Mass IF the priest celebrating the Mass allows, it would be up to the individual priest who was the celebrant.
Therobe that a priest wears is rather vague as he can wear a cassock on the street though most don't nowadays . When celebrating Mass he wears vestments of which the Chastibule is the outer garment and whose color changes according to the day. eg feast days is white martyers is red etc. under that he wears a stole which goes around his neck to the waist this is held in place by the cinture which is a rope type cord . Under this is the Alb which is white and extends to almost the top of his shoes .So we can choose from the Alb, the Chastibule or the Cassock
The alb is the white tunic type of vestment which a priest wears over his street clothes and under the chasuble, which is the outer vestment, when he celebrates the Eucharist. The name comes from the Latin word for white. When celebrating Mass in an informal setting such as someone's home or when it is very hot, the alb can be worn without the chasuble. In either case a stole, the long, narrow garment similar to a Jewish prayer shawl, is worn symbolizing priestly authority.
I think it is CassockThe outfits that priests wear, while performing the Mass are known as Vestments.
Catholic AnswerYes, according to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, paragraph 337 requires that the priest who is celebrating the Mass be vested in a Chasuble. 337. The vestment proper to the Priest Celebrant at Mass and during other sacred actions directly connected with Mass is the chasuble worn, unless otherwise indicated, over the alb and stole.
Roman Catholic AnswerA crucifix (not a cross, a cross with a corpus on it) is required by the rubrics (the rules for saying Mass) for the celebration of Mass. It may be on or near the altar. Normally it faces the celebrant (the priest celebrating the Mass).
Roman Catholic AnswerVestment usually refers to the chasauble worn by a priest or bishop when celebrating Mass; although in a broader way it can refer to any particular clothing worn by Christian clergy.
Roman Catholic AnswerThey used to be called Low Mass (the priest sang nothing), High Mass (a Mass sung by the priest without a deacon or subdeacon), Solemn Mass (Mass celebrated with a deacon and subdeacon), and a Pontifical Mass (Solemn Mass by a pope, cardinal, bishop, or abbot with prescribed ritual). After Vatican II, they no longer use the term Low or High Mass. A Solemn Mass is Mass celebrated with a deacon or acolyte, usually with incense, and a Pontifical Mass remains the same.
Neither. A priest celebrates a mass.
Normally, the Bishop is the celebrant of confirmation. A priest may confirm with the bishop's permission or regularly in certain circumstances: when he is baptizing an adult convert, during the Easter Vigil, and at certain other times.
The lead Priest in a Mass is the Celebrant.
