First
home of the German-speaking RC
parish in Montreal, namely the
“lower church” (church basement?) of
the St. Louis de France church.
[Rudy Jobba 26 Jan 09]
(N. Tullius note:
the German word "Kapelle"
(not "Kapella"
or "Kappela")
simply means "chapel" in English.
They could not
call it a "church" as it was only
the lower floor of a church, so they
called it a "Kapelle." |
