LOL! We generally have 5 or 6 boys serving at the altar in our TINY little Byzantine outreach parish (maybe 40 people if everybody shows up) every Sunday.

Actually, we've doubled our parishioners in 3 years. Being that we are in innovation central, people crave that which is Historically Catholic.
Eastern Rites are my next choice.

Same situation in my church. 30-40 people attend Divine Liturgy. Yet we have plenty of altar servers, our own deacon and an ordained lector. And are working on more.
