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!
 Except
for a few odds and ends, the move of the parish office has been
completed. The St. Casimir office number will remain the same -
287-9551. The office is now located in the blonde building just west
of the St. Adalbert school and parking lot. The mailing address is:
2505 Grace St., So. Bend, IN 46619.
In
order to have a Senior club at St. Casimir's Parish, there is a need
for more Senior people. If you are 55 years young or older, you are
encouraged to become a member. Please consider joining the group.
Bring along or spouse or a friend to join also. Get away from your
everyday routine and treat yourself. Lunch is served at 12:30pm for
only $3.00 every third Wednesday of the month, followed by a short
meeting, "Free Bingo", and a couple raffles. You deserve to get away
for a couple hours. Call the rectory for more information -
287-9551.
Deceased
members of the parish are remembered on the
In Memorium page. Take time at to review the list,
remember the individuals, and say a prayer. Currently, the page is updated thru 2004.
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.
