Stephen M. Cherry draws upon a rich set of ethnographic and survey data, collected over a sixyear period, to explore the roles that Catholicism and family play in shaping Filipino American community life. From the planning and construction of community centers, to volunteering at health fairs or protesting against abortion, this book illustrates the powerful ways these forces structure and animate not only how firstgeneration Filipino Americans think and feel about their community, but how they are compelled to engage it over issues deemed important to the sanctity of the family.Revealing more than intimate accounts of Filipino American lives, Cherry offers a glimpse of the often hidden but vital relationship between religion and community in the lives of new immigrants, and allows speculation on the broader impact of Filipino immigration on the nation. The Filipino American community is the secondlargest immigrant community in the United States, and the Philippines is the secondlargest source of Catholic immigration to this country. This groundbreaking study outlines how firstgeneration Filipino Americans have the potential to reshape American Catholicism and are already having an impact on American civic life through the engagement of their faith.
