Abstract
The
sweeping
economic
and
demographic
changes
that
have
transformed
the
post-
World
War
II
South
into
a
diverse,
economically
vital
region
have,
among
other
consequences,
prompted
the
marked
growth
of
the
Catholic
Church
in
that
region
(Webster,
2000).
In
Lexington,
Kentucky,
no
fewer
than
eight
parishes,
all
of
them
built
in
the
city's
suburbs,
have
been
created
over
the
past
50
years,
and
there
are
plans
for
more
in
the
near
future
(Weglicki,
1
993).
Not
surprisingly,
given
American
Catholicism's
European
heritage,
the
vast
majority
of
worshipers
attending
these
parishes
are
White.
In
light
of
these
trends,
St.
Peter
Claver2
church,
an
inner-city,
century-old
African
American
parish
in
Lexington,
offers
a
point
of
contrast
that
illustrates
the
contours
of
the
evolving
verities
of
race
and
religion
in
the
South.
