We are excited to be entering St Anthony de Padua Catholic School & Parish into the 2019 South Bend St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The parade will be Saturday March 16th at 11:00 am. Participants will be walking from Jefferson Blvd & Frances St. to Niles Avenue towards Washington Street.

We are seeking students, parents, faculty, alumni & parishioners that are excited to share our enthusiasm & pride with the South Bend Community. Students will be asked to wear uniform, sports wear, or spirit wear, or house attire; adding in your own green & St Patrick’s Day decor. Participants will be offered face decor & logo tattoos; balloons & promotional signs will be carried, along with promotional items that will be handed out.

You may sign up online, if you would like to commit to participating & pick a particular extracurricular category to promote. We welcome anyone to join us last minute & will keep communication updated as to where & when to meet that morning. However, if you know you want to join the fun, please sign up so we have a better estimate of participants.

We hope several will help make our first year of participating very successful!

St Anthony = Entry #30.  
We are entry #   30,  there will be   ORANGE   CONES with the numbers on them in the parade entry line-up.   We will be following the Culver Military Academy marching band.  The approximate location of #30 will be very   close to the intersection of St. Francis and Wayne Street.  Since Jefferson Bloulevard is will be closed at 9:30, you can reach such intersection by using Northside Boulevard & turn onto St. Francis Street (approx where the Nortre Dame Row House is located) & head north towards Wayne Street.  

Parade Route:  starts on corner of Jefferson Blvd & St Francis, head west on Jefferson to Niles Avenue, head North on Niles (this is the side street of the Emporium).  It end one block up at the corner of Niles & Washington. 

Parking:  No specific suggestions, it’s street parking at the beginning point & street & lot parking at the end.  It will be busy!
