St. Casimir Parish is one of the most beautiful churches that you will ever see.

The Parish was founded in 1898 by Polish immigrants. The main hall in the school building was used as a church until the present church was built in 1924. The parish is located at the corner of Dunham and Webster streets in South Bend and has been staffed since its founding by the Congregation of Holy Cross.

The church has Romanesque architecture with Italianate chandeliers. The exterior is red brick in a traditional Polish style. Because of the beautiful and sophisticated design, St. Casimir church building was given the highest historical architectural ranking by the Historic Preservation Commission that possibly can be assigned - 13 of 13. There are only a few buildings in all of South Bend that have this designation. Come see it for yourself!

 

Deceased members of the parish are remembered on the In Memorium page. Currently, the page is updated thru 2003. Email a photo of your loved-one to display or drop one off at the parish office. It will be scanned and returned to you.

See the photos of the stained glass windows within the church on the Tour page. Each photo has an explanation of the window.

Check out the photos of the restoration. There are over 100 of them to enjoy!!
