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!!
