1932/33 – present · township class, north of town · 63568 U.S. 31 S
No Catholic congregation is seated in the town of Lakeville in any era the record reaches — the Catholic seat for this ground is Sacred Heart of Jesus parish, north of town on U.S. 31, founded in 1932/33 and worshipping there today. The diocese's own paper, Today's Catholic (4 June 2013, the parish's 80th anniversary), carries the founding: in early 1932 Holy Cross Father James Burns requested Bishop John F. Noll's permission to establish a parish near South Bend; Father Peter Miner surveyed the area; by December 1932 a church was decided; the abandoned Pleasant View School building was cleaned and Masses were celebrated there on 18 December 1932 at 8 and 10 a.m.; a horse trader bequeathed two acres for a church and rectory; the parish was formally dedicated 23 June 1933; farmland was later purchased for classroom space and for Mount Calvary Cemetery (the cemeteries leg's ground — pointer only here); a red brick religious-education building followed in May 1972; and the 80th anniversary Mass in 2013 was celebrated by Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades with Father John Delaney as pastor.
The parish's modern course carries a tension, printed whole. Today's Catholic (19 October 2008) and the South Bend Tribune (15 October 2008) carry Sacred Heart (about 200 registered families) merged with St. Jude Parish, South Bend (about 700 families), effective 1 November 2008, forming the new Parish of St. Catherine of Siena by decree of Bishop John M. D'Arcy. St. Jude's own parish history then carries the other half: under 2002, Bishop D'Arcy "chose to combine St. Jude, St. Mary of the Assumption and Sacred Heart of Jesus Parishes" under the St. Catherine of Siena name; under 2006–07, St. Mary of the Assumption was officially merged with St. Jude on 28 January 2007; and under 2010: "St. Catherine of Siena Parish went back to being St. Jude and Sacred Heart of Jesus Parishes." The parish's own site is live in November 2026 under the name "Sacred Heart of Lakeville," printing current weekend Masses (Saturday Vigil 4:30 p.m.; Sunday 8:00 and 10:00 a.m.), weekday Masses, confessions and adoration. The course reads as merger-then-reversal on the St. Jude carrier, but no carrier read states the canonical instrument or the parish's present canonical form; the tension stands as conflict C75's register, its settler the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend's official parish directory, which is also the settler for the present pastor, whom no page read names.
