Abstract
This chapter focuses on contemporary Catholic faith encounters in rural Iowa and the difficulty of creating inclusive places of worship. The chapter addresses White Catholic parishioners and their mixed feelings, sometimes overtly hostile, toward non-white Catholics who worship in the same parish. The rural priest Father Joseph Sia is featured in this chapter. He is at the forefront of working to make rural Midwestern parishes nonracist, inclusive places of worship and community. Like many parish priests today, Father Sia is seeing a dynamic Latino/a presence in his parish and throughout his state of Iowa and is working hard to ensure that Latinos/as, as well as newer arrivals, feel a sense of belonging.
