On Tuesday September 15th we honor the vision of Rev. Joseph M.Sorg who died on that date in 1888. He was born in Lancaster, N.Y. and brought by his parents to The Lamb of God Church to be baptized. He is credited with wisdom, kindness and patience. Fr. Sorg was celebrating Vespers on the night of March 25th 1885 when he saw the flickering of flames through the windows. He calmly escorted the large number of worshippers to safety.
He is the Visionary who planned the present St. Louis Church yet never saw it completed. Death called him home to God a year before it was finished.
May God grant him eternal rest and may he bless and our efforts to ensure Fr. Sorg's vision is not lost!

Ste Nicolas, Sarreguemines, Lorraine where our 2nd Pastor, Rev.Alexander Pax, was baptized. Rev Pax was the builder of the second brick church, renamed St. Louis German Catholic Church in honor of the patron saint of our benefactor Louis Stephen LeCouteulx de Caumont.
Rev. Pax fled St.Louis Church with the Blessed Sacrament, in 1843, when threatened by parishioners. He returned to Sarreguemines where he died. Our parish was placed under interdict, which was lifted in 1844.

Recently a generous parishioner donated over a large collection of original letters with signatures of major Civil War generals from her late husband's family. These will be part of a 200th Anniversary celebration of our parish founding in 2029. Our museum will highlight the 125+ heroic and brave men from our parish who served in the war.
