From a report by Father John Hollowell, dated September 3, 2013:
“I asked for parishes that made the switch to all male altar servers what their server numbers were like before the switch and what the number of servers was about a year after the switch.
“That’s hard to argue with. The average parish surveyed, when switching from co-ed servers to male-only, saw their server numbers grow 450%.”
