Area houses of worship will be opening their doors to the general public this Sunday.
It’s all part of South Bend’s 150th anniversary celebration. Each month a new theme is explored as part of the “Discover South Bend” series, which is one of many events to mark the city’s sesquicentennial.
The first “Discover South Bend” event — held in January — focused on South Bend landmarks. The February event looked at local science and technology projects.
Sunday’s event will focus entirely on local religious institutions. All told, there will be 13 places of worship open from 1 pm until 4 pm on Sunday. Christianity, Islam and Judaism will all have representation.
