In order for an assistant to be able to contribute to the casting of a ceremonial spell, they would have to have the Perk "True Beleiver" that is the same as the primary caster.

That would make it difficult to simply round up a bunch of dregs, slap a few bucks in their hands, and have them assist in ceremonial casting.
For straight cermeonial Magic (Magery) I would say (IMHO) no.

For Religious Ceremonials (Power Investiture) I would say maybe...perhaps an Initiate of the religion, an active congregant or the like, so that they would know the songs to sing and the responses...

Although if they know the caster and have SEEN him use the miraculous powers of his/her LORD then that might cover the belief base (and mebbe make a convert)...then it would just be the question of some familiarity...

in summation (IMHO) mages no priests yes-maybe...
