A view of St. Sebastian's, the predecessor parish to St. Leonhard's.
St. Sebastian’s Parish,
the Frankfurt US Military and International Catholic
Community under the church's U.S. Military
diocese of Western Europe, was in located on a U.S.
military base in a building which was
originally a farmhouse. It was dedicated on November
20, 1947, by an American bishop, Aloysius Muench, acting as Apostolic
visitor to Germany and Austria. The last
Mass celebrated at St.
Sebastians was held
on January 8,
1995. Ast the base was
closed, the church
building was deconsecrated and
demolished to make room for an apartment block.
