There is a Catholic parish in our area that is a national Italian parish. These were common throughout the U.S. as various nationalities immigrated from Catholic nations such as Poland and Italy. The early generations at this parish wanted their children to marry another Italian, later ones wanted them to marry a Catholic and now they just pray that their children marry before having children.
