Who We Are

   
Saint Joseph Parish,
in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, is a community of God’s people that has been led by religious of the Congregation of Holy Cross since the foundation of the parish by Fr. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., in 1853.


We are a vibrant, intergenerational parish, inviting all with the words of Jesus: “Come and see.” Anchored in the charism of the Congregation of Holy Cross and inspired by the Holy Spirit, we strive to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ and to grow as a faith community by making God known, loved, and served.
