A server who acts as Master of Ceremonies to the nave during mass or the Divine Office, typically on more solemn occasions.

The verger role can be played by an instituted acolyte, but also by any other man of the parish appointed by the pastor.

Duties of the verger include leading liturgical processions (in the nave and outside the church) and escorting lectors to and from the lectern during mass or the Divine Office.

The verger vests in a verger gown and carries a verge.
