Because most of the clergy and Bishops, at one time in the United States were Irish, and because of all the Catholic immigrants, the Irish were the majority who spoke English, there were very few territorial parishes for the Irish, the "Irish" parishes, in most instances were the same as the territorial parish, with national parishes for those who did not speak English. For instance in my home town, there were two "Irish parishes", these were the territorial parishes for the diocese; in addition, there was an Italian parish - for those who spoke Italian, a Slovak parish, a Polish parish, one Eastern rite parish, and several others that I forget at the moment. Suffice to say, that the special national parishes were set up were there was a large Catholic population that spoke a language other than English, while the Irish attended the regular parish.
