Saint Lucy School (Chicago, Oak Park, Washington: schools, baptist, area)

[Fearringtonflash]

I am trying to recall the location of where I went to school in the Fall of 1953I know the school was Saint Lucy--and it was somewhere in the Austin area of Oak Park/Chicago. I don't believe it was the combined St Catherine & St Lucy, but perhaps the two parishes and schools did merge long after I went there. Somehow, though, it seems the location was not on Washington Blvd where the combined school is now, but I may well be wrong.

Any historians, archivists, etc., out there that could help :-}

Thanks!

St. Lucy's school and church were located on Lake Street, one or two blocks east of Austin Blvd. Near the mudhole!!!

St. Lucy's and St. Catherine of Siena parishes merged and use St. Catherine's facilities at Austin and Washington Blvd. in Oak Park.

I believe the address was 5920 West Lake Street. I attended St. Lucy's during the 60's and am fairly certain that address is correct.

CKGrant you are very close, the exact address is 5916 W. Lake St. It is now called Mars Hill Baptist Church.I graduated in 1960 from St. Lucy's and we are planning our 50 !! anniversary party next June. We are hoping to have a tour of the buildings. If any of you were my classmates and would like to join us, please let me know.Lynn Kniewel
