Some dioceses, and some parishes, go out of their way to make sure there's nothing for the Altar Boys to do.

An acolyte’s lament…

First they came for the sensor and I said, “good, all that incense made me sneeze.”
Then they came for the Patons, and I said, “good, they made my arms tired.”
Then they came for the bells and I said , ”good, I was always off on my timing and Father gave me nasty looks.”
Then they came for the candles(well most of them anyway) and I said “good, I could never get the high one lit.”
Then they brought in the girls and I said, “Whoa, I didn’t know this was a chick thing.” So I left.

Bingo!! I enjoyed doing that stuff, though. At one parish, the "bells" were electrically operated, four tones, individually switched. You could play the "Westminster Chimes" tune on them.
