Reminders

PARKING - PLEASE NOTE: The parking lots
ADVERTISING IN OUR PARISH BULLETIN
adjacent to the church, across from the church
and behind the new St. Ignatius dormitory, as
well as the lot behind St. Thomas More Hall, are
all available for parishioners from Saturday
afternoon at 3:00 pm until Sunday evening. The
university asks that the parish use these lots
rather than parking on St. Thomas More Drive
due to safety concerns. There is also additional
parking in the lot behind the Archdiocesan
Tribunal building in front of St. William’s Hall
off Lake Street.
This is just a reminder to our parishioners who
are in business, asking that they consider taking
out an ad in our bulletin. PARISHCOMM does
a wonderful job every week printing our
bulletin. The ads help defray the cost of the
bulletin which is printed at no cost to the parish.
By participating as a sponsor, you are helping
the parish in a variety of ways (not just
financially) and making members of the parish
aware of your goods and services.

lives!” (Sacraments)

companion to someone in need by attending a
