Migration Letters, 2005, vol. 2, issue 2, 144-152

Abstract: Religion can represent a very significant element among the ones contributing to the construction of ethnic/cultural iden-tity of families from an immigrant background. This is even more relevant when ‘institutionalised’ religion, in the form of a religious Mission, becomes the main channel for the so-cialisation and intergenerational identity transmission among families of immigrant origin. The article focuses on the role of the Catholic Mission for families of Italian origin living in the Nottingham area, UK.
