Our cities have those formerly ethnic parishes (literally blocks apart), and while they served a purpose at one time they have become a real albatross;

Meriden, CT is still like that:
St. Stanislaus (Polish)
St. Laurent (French-Canadian)
St. Rose of Lima (Hispanic)
St. Mary's (German)
St. Joseph (Irish)
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (Italian)

St Laurent Rectory (0.5 miles)
St Stanislaus Catholic Church (0.6 miles)
St Rose Church (0.6 miles)

My town (of 40K) has three parishes that celebrated Mass in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Lithuanian; the Lithuanian Mass has been discontinued due to the lack of Lithuanian priests (coupled with the fact that there are no new Lithuanians in the area that need it). Neighboring towns have Masses in Polish and Italian as well.
