| St. John
the Baptist Catholic church opened in 1890. Destroyed by the hurricane of 1909,
the church was rebuilt. It burned shortly thereafter and had to be rebuilt a second
time. |

Ammannsville
Forum:I grew
up in Schulenburg and am and always will be a parishioner of St. John the Baptist
Catholic Church in Ammannsville. While I live in Houston now, my parents, brother,
and two sister still live in Schulenburg and attend church in Ammannsville. The
pond directly behind the cemetery in the picture belongs to my grandparents who
live immediately behind the church on the hill.
I am also very familiar
with St.
Mary’s in High Hill as I have attending mass there frequently as well. The
rectory is on one side of the church and the parish hall is on the other side.
The cemetery at St. Mary’s is directly behind the church. ... - Regards, Mike
