QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE ARE

We are located on the southwest corner of Route 53 (Independence Blvd.) & Airport Road. Airport Road is one stoplight north of Lewis University and one stoplight south of Taylor Road (Romeoville High School). The Pastoral Center is a 3-story brown brick building that sits back on the property, having the appearance of a school. There is an animal hospital on the opposite corner. Access to our parking lot is from Airport Road only.
Important note: Airport Road no longer goes through from Weber Road

PLEASE NOTE: While we have signage on Route 53, it is sometimes difficult to see. Furthermore, Lewis University uses a portion of our building for their classes. Hence you will see a sign on Airport Road that references Lewis University, however, you are in the right place. We apologize for any confusion.
