The Monastic Diurnal Revised refers to a "cantrix."

And it used to be that parish bulletins often mentioned an "altar
guild directress."

"Actress" is a fine term, but my theory is that we no longer hear
"actor," "waiter," etc., as specifically male terms anymore. So one
term works for both more than it used to.
