The Shared Parish: Latinos, Anglos, And The Future Of U.S. Catholicism

Describes parish life in a smallish midwestern town where the one Catholic parish accommodates two distinct cultural groups: recent Spanish speaking immigrants mostly from Mexican and English-speaking natives of mostly German or Irish descent. Discusses the strategies for interaction between the two groups: separate services in English in Spanish, but use of the same facilities that requires some degree of cooperation and mutual acculturation.
