Fwiw, there are two diocese in the US that do not allow female altar servers, one being Bishop Bruskewitz’s (sp?) diocese in Lincoln, NE. He has the largest amount of priestly vocations in the country.
The Church use to always search out potential candidates to the Holy Priesthood by encouraging young men to serve at the altar. You can believe it or not, it makes no difference to me, but it is a fact. It’a all related to promoting an all male priesthood.
I do know a Novus Ordo priest who did NOT really want to use girl servers, but when girls were allowed to serve, he noticed a drop in boys wanting to serve. Since this happened, he relied on the girls to fill the spots made void by the lack of male presence on the altar. He admitted there hadn’t been a vocation in the parish he was serving in over 40 years, his words not mine. Not to the religious life, not to the priesthood. If anyone here does not see the connection, I don’t know what to say.

*Disobedience or Trailblazing?
For a variety of reasons, the issue of female altar servers was once considered the ultimate “liturgical abuse”. In the 1980’s, it was a de facto litmus test for fidelity to Rome and at the top of any list of “how to spot a faithful parish.” Because **the use of altar girls was a pet cause of feminist and dissident organizations **who threw their weight behind the propagation of the practice, countering its legitimacy became a cause taken up by conservatives. Arguments against altar girls could not only be made from authority, but also tradition, theology and basic common sense. The use of female altar servers, it could be argued, was not only illicit but it was a novelty with potentially destructive consequences for both the liturgy and vocations. Once a reinterpretation of canon 230§2 found room for altar girls, such objections lost their impact.
Dissident groups lobbying for the “ordination” of women and defiant liturgists across the U.S. and Western Europe declared victory. Although there have been some minor adjustments to the details of the permission and some ineffectual acknowledgements of the rights of bishops and priests who choose to forego this newfound liberty, the outcome had been decided in what was for years considered to be a battle that symbolized the struggle between conservative and liberal liturgical views. For their defiance of Church regulations concerning the liturgy, the liberal dissidents were rewarded with official approval of their actions. They learned the lesson well and shifted the targets of their efforts to other ways they could continue the devolution of the liturgy through selective defiance.*
It appears the feminists saw the connection putting girls on the altar and women becoming priests.
) but as having “served” for the English version of the Mass in the past, I can confidently tell you that it still is a wonderful spiritual experience.
I do somewhat agree that the whole girl-serving thing, as it used to seem a little akward. But I guess I grew up in a traditional sort of Catholic family, and a traditional parish (still not with the Latin Mass) As far as your sister is concerned, I’m sorry, but if it’s OK with the Bishop, it’s OK with the Church. 
Thanks for explaining. I’ve listened to scripture and I have read Scripture but amazingly I’m not done reading the entire bible
