St. Angela's
Green Dreams
The demolition of the church, convent, and rectory in January 2017 created a significant void on the St. Angela School campus. This presented us with both a challenge and an exciting opportunity. It allowed us to implement changes that would greatly impact the students' school experience. The newly available space offered an expansive play area, an "outdoor classroom," and a garden dedicated to honoring the community's beloved individuals from the past and present.
In July 2017, we initiated the Green Dreams Appeal with the sole aim of raising funds to transform our campus into a beautiful, green environment that can be utilized by teachers and students alike.
St. Angela Mural
"A joyful mural on the side of
Austin’s St. Angela School welcomes students,
teachers and neighbors to the site of a former
church, convent and rectory.
Painted images of former students hug, clap, turn book pages and throw their heads back with laughter in a three-story-tall illustration highlighted with shades of green, yellow and blue. Their smiles burst off a wall that had been blank and hidden for decades by the former St. Angela Catholic Church at 1332 N. Massasoit Ave." Chicago Sun-Times
