In west central Ohio, not far from the Indiana border, are many people who can trace their ancestors to German Catholic immigrants whose liv es centered around their families, farms and the culture and faith they had brought with them from Germany. Many of the churches were established in Mercer, Auglaize and Shelby counties by the people themselves, not the hierarchy of the church. This allegiance and identification with the home parish exists today.
