Traffic Patterns
The new traffic pattern during Religious Education classes is now in effect. The Tinley Park Police Traffic Division assisted in the development of the new plan for the safety of our children, staff and catechists.
All vehicles must enter from 84th Avenue and exit onto 175th Street.
During Religious Education sessions, from 4-7:30pm on Mondays through Wednesdays, the drive to our parking lot from 84th Avenue will be one way inbound and the drive going to 175th Street will be one way outbound.
Dropping Off and Picking Up Your Child
Parents/guardians may continue to park and walk their child/children into the church, but there will also be a drop-off lane in front of the church. If you are choosing this way, you are to pull up to where the church building ends (175th Street side) and let your children out from the curbside only please. The driver is then asked to exit the church lot from 175th Street. We ask everyone coming to the church during Religious Education classes to observe these procedures. Please enter from 84th Avenue and exit onto 175th Street. You can park and enter the church or office as usual for parish business, but please observe the one way outbound onto 175th Street. This procedure is only to be observed during the Religious Education times as stated above.
