Adult Ed will feature a presentation on the rectory restoration of St. Catherine-St. Lucy, and a public forum on the subject will be held in Fellowship Hall following worship at 11:30 a.m. Fair Oaks is offering our space for this presentation.
The presentation and public forum will focus on information of and support for the project. The Oak Park Catholic community has a vision to renovate and repurpose the former Saint Catherine-St. Lucy rectory into a social service center that will respond to the needs of the families of the Austin community.
They propose to reconfigure the space into a warm, inviting community services center featuring We-Work-type shared office and meeting space, along with medical exam rooms, private counseling rooms and offices for prospective service providers. They anticipate that by providing a multitude of services, both directly and through referrals to area providers, they will lower barriers to accessing services and help families become more stable, stronger and more resilient. Come to Adult Ed and stay after worship to hear their full presentation on Sunday, November 12, in Fellowship Hall.
