Research Notes

St. Paul's Chapel- Catholic missionary work began outside of Philadelphia in 1716. In 1741, records, though fragmentary, of the Goshenhoppen area began in a missal written by Rev. Theodore Schneider. He was the founder of St. Paul's Chapel in 1752 after the land was deeded to the church; it was usually known as the Goshenhoppen Mission. In 1835, a large addition was made to the front side of the chapel and the name was changed to Church of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The location is in southeastern Berks County near the border with Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. When the postal service began Rural Free Delivery in 1896, many villages needed to be renamed because of the duplication of names, Churchville was renamed Bally. This name was a tribute to the priest, Rev. Augustine Bally. He had served the Catholic Church there and in outlying areas from 1837 to 1882.
