From the perspective of historical sociology, Richard N. Juliani
traces the role of religion in the lives and communities of Italian
immigrants in Philadelphia from the 1850s to the early 1930s. By
the end of the nineteenth century, Philadelphia had one of the
largest Italian populations in the country. The Archdiocese of
Philadelphia eventually established twenty-three parishes for the
exclusive use of Italians. Juliani describes the role these
parishes played in developing and anchoring an ethnic community and
in shaping its members' new identity as Italian Americans during
the years of mass migration from Italy to America. Priest, Parish,
and People blends the history of Monsignor Antonio Isoleri--pastor
from 1870 to 1926 of St. Mary Magdalen dePazzi, the first Italian
parish founded in the country--with that of the Italian immigrant
community in Philadelphia. Relying on parish and archdiocesan
records, secular and church newspapers, archives of religious
orders, and Father Isoleri's personal papers, Juliani chronicles
the history of St. Mary Magdalen dePazzi as it grew from immigrant
refuge to a large, stable, ethnic community that anchored "Little
Italy" in South Philadelphia. In charting that growth, Juliani also
examines conflicts between laity and clergy and between clergy and
church hierarchy, as well as the remarkable fifty-six-year career
of Isoleri as a spiritual and secular leader. Priest, Parish, and
People provides both the details of parish history in Philadelphia
and the larger context of Italian-American Catholic history.
