Hello, It is difficult to find out information on Sts. Peter and Paul German Catholic Church, which no longer exists. If anyone is interested, there is one book available through interlibrary loan, I believe from Notre Dame's library. I obtained it from them through my local university. It gave the history of the building of the church; there were several actual buildings. Very interesting. Perhaps there is a book available in Pittsburgh, but I couldn't find it.
