They worked long hard hours on a farm and found time to build beautiful churches in their "spare" time. My German Catholic great-grandfathers arrived in the 1860s and built this (sadly now desanctified) church in west Baltimore, Maryland, and it would fit in just fine in west central Ohio. It's cultural.

Yes, German Catholics built some beautiful churches. My parish in Canton is an historic German Catholic parish that is the crown jewel of the entire Diocese of Youngstown and one of the most beautiful churches in the entire state of Ohio. I know MAC Country has some gorgeous Catholic churches as well.
