Diocese of Rockville Centre, parish, patron of the church, patrociniumAbstract
From the very beginning of the Catholic Church, the intercession of saints has played an important role in Christian religious life. Each newly built church was dedicated to a mystery of faith or to a particular saint who was worshipped in that place. Over the years, the dedication of the church would also become the dedication of the parish. This article discusses names of the parishes of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, which was formed in 1957. The study covered 133 parishes. According to the scheme used in the literature, all the names are divided into Trinitarian, Christological, Marian, angelic, and hagiographical names. Double dedications are discussed separately, and the dedications of parishes established after the formation of the Diocese of Rockville Centre are shown.
