This church is significant in its history- having been built from repurposed stone from the Everleigh Sisters brothel, and because of its location in the so called "Beer Baron Row" of elaborate mansions built by these skilled German brewer immigrants. The Church was a show case for many old world artisans and artists including Alois Lang of Oberammergau, Germany. A few months ago the Wednesday ride group viewed the outside structure, but this Sunday we'll be able to view the inside structure using the PDF tour guide. The plan is to arrive at the Church around 11 AM which should be at the closure of the 10 AM service.
