yeah, my whole german-chicagoan lineage going back 6 generations is entirely southern german catholic. i know a lot of people think that "german" automatically equals lutheran, but at least in chicago, there is a shitload of german catholic ancestry too.
together with the mexicans, poles, irish, and italians, chicago's large amount of german catholics is another big reason why chicagoland is the most catholic major metro area in the nation.
