Catholic churches in Schönberg/Szymbark area

A cousin of mine has done extensive research and has traced our family back to the village of Schönberg/Szymbark. Peter STILL (birth date unknown) and his family (unnamed wife and children Peter, Johann, Martin and Maria) were issued a visa by the Russian consulate to travel to Russia in 1819. They settled in the Eichwald colony. Some of their descendants left and came to Canada in 1905 - my branch of the family. The paper trail has been hard to trace.

Does anyone have information on Catholic churches in the Schönberg/Szymbark area? The only one I've been able to locate is an evangelical Lutheran church and this family was most definitely Catholic.

Thanks in advance.
