An Analysis of the Experience of Twelve Catholics, 1950-1990. This paper investigates the intersection of faith, memory and culture. Through interviews with twelve men and women who grew up in St. Ignatius parish, a Jesuit parish on the north side of Chicago, in the 1950's, the author attempts to evoke the memory of that experience, to examine how experience of being a Catholic and the "transmission of faith" have changed, and finally, to report on how that faith has been sustained over the past 50 years.
