| Summary: | This work pretends to understand the ethnical-religious manifestations of the catholic Mexican immigrants not as a segregated in American society, but as cultural auto assertive options within the multiculturalism and, fundamentally, as manifestations of incorporation to American society, through pertinence memberships which point to certain modalities of post national citizenship. This incorporation forms develop through the migrant’s practices in the fi eld of religion, which allow, not only the development of civic abilities through associative memberships, and in particular of the experiences of assisting and participating in the catholic churches of the settlement neighborhoods, but the development on means of political participation promoted through the associative-civic roles of churches, which work as conducts of political information, but also as a more ample way for the incorporations of immigrants in the life of American society, which transcends as much in the religious fi eld as it does in the electoral-politic one. Finally, this works analyzes the role of institutions, the actor and the religious practices of Mexican catholic immigrants which move to America.
