What is the difference between a Catholic territorial parish and a Catholic ethnic parish?
.Catholic AnswerA Catholic territorial parish is the normal parish in a diocese that covers one city or town, or a section of a city. A Catholic ethnic parish covers a particular group of individuals within that territory. For instance, in the city where I grew up there was one territorial parish, but there were half a dozen ethnic parishes. The territorial parish was mostly Irish descent, although by the time I was born there was a German priest and many different Americans went to it. There was also a Polish parish, a Slovak parish, an Italian parish, another Irish parish, and some others. The Mass at the time was in Latin, but in the ethnic parishes, the sermon was in their native language, etc. When I left college, I got a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where the Church right behind me had been an ethnic black Church.
