This photograph is from the consecration of St. Andrew's in South Bend, Indiana, in 1956. At the time, the church was located on Michigan Avenue, however the congregation is now located on Ironwood Road. The identities of the people in the photo are unknown, but it appears that the priest on the left may be giving communion to the man in front.
