am originally from Gentilly, Minn. It was named after the Parish of Gentilly
on the right bank of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada by the
French-Canadian settlers in the early 1880's. The Church in Gentilly MN is
St. Peters Catholic Church and is still going strong. The church in
Gentilly, Quebec was St Pierre de Gentilly Catholic Church. That's all I
know about it. I suppose either Church could have issued this. The first
church in Gentilly,MN was built in 1882 & enlarged in 1885.The present one
was built in 1914.That's all I know about it. I suppose either Church
