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.

A woman looks up at the altar inside St. Adalbert Church, St. Paul, 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, "God is the most important thing in my family life. I've been a Catholic since I was born. Both my mother and my father's parents were Catholics. And their mother and father. It goes back many generations. Same with my husband. The traditional religion in Vietnam is to worship the ancestors. As Catholics we worship God, but we also keep our traditions. This church [St. Adalbert] allows us to do that." Used with the permission of Wing Young Huie.
