The Ethnicity of Clerical Leadership : The Dominicans in Francophone Lewiston, Maine, 1881-1986
Description
Essay that follows the Roman Catholic Dominican order from its French expatriation to Canada, to its subsequent immigration to New England. Explores how Dominican fathers and other Church leaders impacted the acculturation of French Canadian descendants in the Catholic parishes of Lewiston, Maine at the beginning of the twentieth century. Features Lewiston Catholics' reactions to Dominican maneuvers, as well as inter-hierarchical disputes between bishops of the diocese of Portland, Maine and the clergy of Lewiston's national parishes. Emphasizes roles of Lewiston community members in shaping their own Catholic and Franco American identities apart from Church leadership, and the transformation of these roles into the latter half of the twentieth century.
