Why is there no apostrophe in “Saint Pauls”?

0

At the time of World War I, all congregations with German names were asked to change their names to English because of the prejudice against German Americans during that War. St. Pauls did change its name, but held onto a bit of its German heritage by not putting an apostrophe in “Pauls.” There is no apostrophe in the German language.
