The Village of Oak Park will be making significant improvements to Oak Park Avenue, around St. Edmund Church. The project includes needed infrastructure upgrades to sewer and water lines, and a welcomed improvement to the streetscape. This project will affect Oak Park Avenue, between Randolph Street and Ontario Street. You can view the details of this project at the following site: https://www.renewtheavenue.com/.

While this project is just beginning and is scheduled to run through November of 2026, we are working to understand the full impact on our campus at St. Edmund. We are expecting that Oak Park Avenue, in front of St. Edmund Church, will be closed at times and not accessible for parking. However, the Village of Oak Park has already confirmed that the Pleasant Street entrance to our parking lot will remain open and accessible throughout this project. While this will be a fluid project, we will do our best to gather more specific information to share with our parishioners. However, please continue to monitor the site linked above for updates from the Village of Oak Park.

Thank You,
Carlos Guerrero​
Operations Director of Ascension and St. Edmund Parish
