In my parish, there are adult women who are extraordinary ministers. I myself serve as an usher, and also as a lector. There have been times when the ushers were short handed and I have done both. It’s a small town and not a big parish, but our faith is as strong as any cathedral.
I should add that our priest is very old school. While he uses all the latest gizmos (Facebook, IPhones, etc.) to reach out to the teens, and does a pretty good magic show for the real young kids, he stays true to the teachings of the Church. He also is an excellent hunter who gets several deer every season, donating most to Hunters for the Hungry. Our RCIA class gift for him was a new Leopold scope for his rifle. He takes his responsibility for his flock very seriously.
