The Mexican community had their own self-traditions and to help people of poverty in the Barrios. Gradually, people of the Mexican community began to see the church’s social ministry expand with nuns, priests, and other compassionates. In the mid-1960s, the social ministry of the Catholic Church did not want to be a part of the chicano movement in Houston. The Catholic Church saw that it was better to keep peace and not get involved with politics, but it was also hard to try to keep the equality. Treviño concludes that the Church in the Barrio of etho-catholism was a way of life for Mexican Americans. Etho-catholism helped people understand the preservice of the relationship between Catholicism and Mexican Americans. It demonstrates how religion has influenced their lives through coping and a sense of ethnic identity. Roberto R. Treviño intended this book for undergraduate students that are taking courses in Texas history and Mexican American
