Often considered an intercity parish, St. Boni-face\u2014located in down-town Anaheim\u2014was once the only Catholic parish in all of what\u2019s now Orange County. From its beginnings, it\u2019s been the worship community of regional and nationally-recognized individuals, provocateurs, immigrants, the devout, and the profane.<\/p>\n

This presentation traces the roots of the parish through modern times within the context of Orange County history, including its relationship with Rancho Ca\u00f1\u00f3n de Santa Ana and early city pioneers Theodore Rimpau and Augustus Langenberger, its shifting ethnic profile, the influ-ence of culture and Church tradition on its members, music, architecture, and practices, and its impact on and in the city of Anaheim and surrounding communities.<\/p>\n
