Cherry draws upon a rich set of ethnographic and survey data, collected over a six-year 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 first-generation 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 second-largest immigrant community in the United States, and the Philippines is the second-largest source of Catholic immigration to this country. This ground-breaking study outlines how first-generation 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. 606 $aImmigrants$xReligious life 606 $aFilipino American Catholics 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aFilipino American Catholics. 615 0$aImmigrants$xReligious life. 615 0$aFilipino American Catholics. 676 $a282.089 676 $a282.0899921073 700 $aCherry$b Stephen M., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$01466795 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787774003321 996 $aFaith, Family, and Filipino American Community Life$93677434 997 $aUNINA
