Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint. 45 On St. Patrick’s Day 1865, 350 people marched in support of the city’s growing Fenian organization. Despite opposition to the movement from the Catholic archbishop of San Francisco (who had ecclesiastical jurisdiction over Sacramento and also opposed such revels during the penitential season of Lent), hundreds of Sacramento Irish turned out to cheer on the cause of the Irish nationalists. Irish nationalist causes dominated even after the Fenian movement declined, and interest in Irish affairs continued to energize Sacramentans well into the twentieth century.
30 s a c r a m e n t o a n d t h e c a t h o l i c c h u r c h ethnic factor s Another critical factor in the character of early Sacramento Catholic life was that the church was dominated by men and women who spoke English. More specifically, a large number of its members and virtually all of its leaders were either Irish-born or of Irish descent. In particular, the advance of an Irish American identity played a significant role in making Sacramento Catholics enthusiastic urban boosters. In 1850 there were about 250 foreign-born Irish in Sacramento County.
Later, the memories of these early days in temporary quarters and makeshift arrangements provided an important communal memory for the “founders” of these parishes. Back in the city, church leaders struggled with the reality of urban decline, symbolized by the fading of the grand Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. By the late 1950s, this once visible symbol of church-city cooperation found itself cash-strapped and unable to raise money for even the most basic maintenance. However, church-city relations were stirred to life as the church became one of the primary institutions that accommodated the increasing flood of Spanish-speaking newcomers who demanded living space and cultural recognition.
