St. Elizabeth of Hungary Roman Catholic Church of Cleveland: Case Study of the Church History in Cleveland, Ohio

Summary/Abstract: The aim of our study is to provide a comprehensive picture of the past and present state of the Hungarian churches of Cleveland, with special focus on the city’s first Roman Catholic community, which recently celebrated its 125th anniversary. We analyze the Hungarian religious community of Cleveland and its effect on the Hungarian identity on the basis of literature and fieldwork with interviews and personal interviews. In addition, the study deals in detail with the 125-year-old Saint Elizabeth Church, which was the first Catholic Roman Catholic community of the city and is an integral part of the preservation of Hungarian identity. We conclude that the Hungarian faith communities operating today play an important role in the preservation of the identity of local Hungarians.
