Instituted Acolyte

A minister who can act as Subdeacon without being properly ordained. This was combined with the minstry of Acolyte from Paul VI "minsteria quædam" and the Subdiocante role. These are mostly found in the Personal Ordinariate or some FSSP/ICKSP parishes.

Yesterday, I became an Instituted Acolyte

Altar boy: I want to be Instituted Acolyte

MC: Your too young kid. Maybe sometime in the future.
