| Summary: | This text explores the history of the establishment of two Mexican seminaries in the United States during the Mexican Revolution era (1910-1940). The research aims to highlight the significance of these two educational projects, their characteristics, and the implementation process itself. The objective is to study the relationships between members of the Mexican and American clergy in a complex context for Catholics in exile. The first seminary, named the Seminary of San Felipe Neri, was founded in the town of Castroville, Texas, in 1915; however, it had a short lifespan as it closed its doors in 1918. The second seminary, the Pontifical Mexican Seminary of Our Lady of Guadalupe, located in the community of Montezuma, New Mexico, was established in 1937 and remained operational until 1972. Both projects received support from various members of the American Catholic clergy, notably from the then-Bishop of Oklahoma, Francis Clement Kelley, who played a crucial role not only in fundraising but also in building consensus within the American Catholic community to show solidarity with the cause of religious freedom in Mexico. The research employs both primary and secondary sources, making visible the challenges faced by Mexican Catholicism on American soil. Despite the foreign support received, the study concludes that both projects maintained a distinctly Mexican identity. |
