  • Suppression of a Croatian–Slovenian parish in San Francisco and parishioners' efforts toward Its reopening : reflections on heterogeneity of ethnic Catholicism in the U.S.A.
    Mithans, Gašper
    In recent decades, we have seen a pronounced crisis of personal parishes in the United States serving European ethnic communities, which many have been forced to close or merge, usually due to lack ... of clergy, declining Mass attendance and financial reasons. This issue of American Catholicism is the focus of the paper dealing with a particular case of parishioners' resistance against the closure of the Croatian-Slovenian parish of the Nativity of Our Lord in 1994 and its reopening two years later. That was a period of empowerment for Catholic Slovenian and Croatian Americans in the San Francisco Bay Area, a significant achievement for "traditional" immigrant organizations slowly losing the focal role they played in the past with much more numerous first-generation immigrants. However, the rebuilding of the religious community, now shared among three ethnic groups and administered by the Polish pastor, has been afflicted with challenges inherent to establishment of interethnic cohabitation and finding a permanent solution to some old issues.
