History
Of Sacred Heart, Notre Dame
NOTRE DAME. [South Bend, St.
Joseph County]
SACRED HEART CHURCH.
1831.
"The first church, not only at Notre Dame but in the diocese of Fort Wayne, was a log chapel erected by Rev. Stephen Theodore Badin, as early as 1831. At that time it was known as the "Indian Chapel," and was the center of Father Badin's missionary activities throughout Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. It was located on the south edge of St. Mary's lake. Having been destroyed by fire in 1856, a facsimile of it was erected recently, and the remains of Father Badin are buried in it. White settlers from the earliest days worshipped in this chapel and the present Sacred Heart Congregation has the extraordinary privilege of having for their church the magnificent Sacred Heart Church of Notre Dame. The number of families, however, is small being only fifty-eight in number, or two hundred and ninety two souls. The pastor of the congregation, at the present time, is Rev. M. A. McGarry, C. S. C., D. D.
Cedar
Grove Cemetery
Father Badin had blessed a tract of land, about a mile north of South Bend, between the upper Niles road and the river, known as the "Old Indian Grave-yard," for a cemetery. This location was looked upon as not desirable, and when Father Sorin arrived, in 1842, he laid out the present cemetery on Notre Dame avenue, half way between Notre Dame and South Bend. Brother Francis, C. S. C., had charge of this cemetery, and when, some years later, his favorite evergreens gave it a sightly appearance, he called it Cedar Grove cemetery. In 1842, it formed but a small corner, but it now extends over twenty-five acres, and is being enlarged year after year. In the early days, Cedar Grove was the only graveyard for Catholics within many miles of south Bend, and for this reason, even at this day, corpses are brought from great distances, to be buried by the side of relatives and friends, who are interred there."

Items of Historical Interest
(1842 and 1884) "At South Bend, where I found only seven Catholic families in 1842, we have now 5,000 Catholics and four churches."
Sorin Letters. P. 195. 1884
"Sorin altered the decision of naming Brother Bernard to teach Catholics of South Bend. Needed very badly at Notre Dame to handle pupils of the small study room who were in a state of rebellion'".Gatian Chronicles May 30, 1847
1859: (Change South Bend to St. Joseph) "We (Sorin and Sr. Angela) intend, if we can, to change the name of the town to St. Joseph City. We now have two thirds of the best names, but they have a majority of the bigots' and inferior votes. We feel confident, however, with St. Joseph's protection, to gain our point. Mother
Angela makes a number of converts to her side."
-- Sorin.
1859
(South Bend versus St. Joseph) "Carl Schurz, when Sorin and Mother Angela desired to change the name of South Bend to St. Joseph got only ten votes in an assembly, said, 'You may have the best argument, the old fellow has a majority of the votes.'"
-- Scholastic,
