Book Review

Priest, Parish, and People: Saving the Faith in Philadelphia's "Little Italy." By Richard N. Juliani. (Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 2007. xii, 395 pp. Paper, $35.00, ISBN 978-0-268-03265-4.)

Rev. Antonio Isoleri arrived in Philadelphia in 1870, just shy of his twenty-fifth birthday. By the time he died in 1932, the Ligurian-born priest had served fifty-six years at the helm of the city's flagship Italian Catholic church. As the historical sociologist Richard N. Juliani notes in his comprehensive study of Isoleri and his parish, the priest's extraordinary tenure spanned a pivotal era in American immigration and religious history. The story of this priest, his parish, and his people provides an intimate window into the development of one city's Italian-American community and holds broader implications for the study of immigration and Catholicism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
