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.
