About the Provider

Description: Saint Joseph Parish is committed to providing high quality preschool programming that advances our mission of Catholic education in the heart of South Bend.

Our new facilities are located in Saint Joseph's Ackles Parish Life Center at 711 East Colfax Avenue in South Bend. Our belief is in creating a loving, caring, faith-based environment where spirituality and education are our first priorities. Through Christ, we model this in our relationships with the children, their families, and each other.
