PSA: Parking Lot Safety
Our parking lot fills up quickly on weekends for Masses... lead us not into temptation to park along the fire lanes, or create "extra" parking spots that would block safety vehicles from getting though, but deliver us safely to the gym for Mass on time.
Kindly honor the marked Auction Winner space near the playground at all times and the handicap designated spaces near the gym entrance.
Thank you!
