Dear Patty,

the telephone directory lists two catholic churches : Herz-Jesu-Kirche and
St.Kolumban.

St.Kolumban is the main church - going back to a first chapel built during
the 9th century. I'm not sure when Herz-Jesu-Kirche was built : likely 20th
century and not relevant for your genealogy.

You cite the LDS index of films - so for sure these films are available in
the US at any FHC.

Good luck with your further research - Wolf
