Father Arthur Ssembajja, the dedicated pastor of Saint Anthony de Padua Church in South Bend, has always believed that faith should be the foundation of every aspect of life—including financial decisions. When it came to choosing a banking partner for his parish, Fr. Arthur found a perfect fit in Notre Dame Federal Credit Union, a Catholic organization that shares his values and commitment to serving the community.

One of the key reasons Fr. Arthur loves banking with Notre Dame FCU is its strong foundation in Catholic principles. For him, aligning the parish’s finances with a faith-based institution is not just a preference—it’s a reflection of the Church’s mission to live out the teachings of Christ in every possible way. Notre Dame FCU’s commitment to ethical banking and its dedication to supporting the Catholic community resonate deeply with Fr. Arthur, making the credit union a natural choice for Saint Anthony de Padua Church.

But what truly sets Notre Dame FCU apart in Fr. Arthur’s eyes is its innovative Elevate program. This unique initiative has provided financial support back to his parish, enabling them to extend their outreach and help those in need within the community. For Fr. Arthur, this program is a tangible expression of Notre Dame FCU’s mission to serve not just its members but the broader community as well.

Fr. Arthur’s experience with Notre Dame FCU has been one of partnership and shared values. He appreciates the personal connection and the understanding that comes from working with a financial institution that is rooted in the same faith that guides his ministry. For Fr. Arthur, banking with Notre Dame FCU is not just about managing the parish’s finances—it’s about being part of a community that is committed to making a positive impact, both within the Church and beyond.

Through his relationship with Notre Dame Federal Credit Union, Fr. Arthur Ssembajja has found more than just a banking partner—he has found an ally in his mission to serve others. The Catholic foundation of the Credit Union and the support provided through the Elevate program have made a profound difference in the life of his parish, reinforcing his belief in the power of faith-based community service.
