Communion inside St. Adalbert Church

Communion inside St. Adalbert Church

Congregants prepare to receive Communion during a service at St. Adalbert Church, ca. 1994. From Wing Young Huie's Frogtown: Photographs and Conversations in an Urban Neighborhood (Minnesota Historical Society Press, 1996), 33. The photo's caption in the book reads, "When you're trying to do something interculturally like this, there's a struggle. Some of our older members find it difficult. Why all this attention to the Vietnamese? One said it so well. Last year at Easter she said, 'Father, that was a wonderful celebration. Of course, we don't have to do it next year.' I said, 'Well, why not?' 'Because they will have been here a year. They'll know English by then.' I said, 'How long did we have mass in Polish for your grandparents and for your parents. How many years?' It's a time of change. A time of testing. Where is our faith? Is it all cultural, or is it bigger than that?" Used with the permission of Wing Young Huie.
