Life in the City
South Bend is a city on the St. Joseph River in Indiana. It’s known for the adjacent University of Notre Dame, with its gold-domed main building. In the city center, the Studebaker National Museum displays classic cars made by the now-defunct local company. The nearby History Museum has exhibits spotlighting aspects of regional life. The museum also owns three historic homes, including the 19th-century Oliver Mansion.

What is one of your favorite memories from your first year in ACE?
I have very fond memories of our celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I had never known our church could fit as many people as it did, and it was such a clear witness of the love my students and their families have for Jesus and for his mother.
