Women’s Albs & Clergy Alb for Women

Women’s albs are traditional white liturgical garments designed for female clergy and ministers. Offering the same theological symbolism and function as standard albs, they provide tailored fit and comfort, with classic and contemporary styles suited for Mass, baptisms, Eucharistic celebrations, and formal church ceremonies.

Women’s albs are tailored to ensure proper drape, modest structure, and comfort during worship leadership and sacramental services.
