Prayers for One of Our Graduates
Ryan Plowman, St. Damian Class of 2019, and his family are in need of our prayers immediately. He is in the ICU. Please join together at Incarnation Church at 5705 W. 127th Street in Palos Heights tonight, November 4, 2022 at 5pm to offer prayers of healing support to this very special young man and his family. The power of prayer is miraculous and that is what we need right now. Mr. and Mrs. Plowman have asked that no one contact them right now, but just please pray.
Drop Off Procedures and Pick Up Procedures
When you drop your child/ren off on the morning, please pull all the way forward and we ask that you not allow your children to get out of the car until your car is parallel to the building. We also ask that if you need to get out of the car to help your child/ren, please park in front of the church and do this. Not adhering to these procedures causes a back up on 155th Street and possible dangerous situations for all of our students and our community.
We also ask that you turn right out of the parking lot. We have placed a sign as a friendly reminder.
Please also adhere to the speed limit.
As far as pick up is concerned, we do ask that you use our parking lot. This procedure is not only in place for our children's safety, but, we really want to be considerate of our neighbors.
Thank you!
