The gravel parking lot is unavailable this weekend:
Due to Easter Weekend, St. Mary’s church will need the entire gravel lot next to the Hudson Apartments for overflow parking on the nights of Thurs-Friday-Saturday (March 28, 29, 30).  ICBCS has agreed not to use any spaces for those three nights.  Therefore we ask that everyone use street parking and College Main Parking Garage instead—both of these options cost $2.50 per hour on those nights. Street parking requires downloading the ParkMobile app and the parking garage only accepts debit or credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, or Discover). College Main garage is a 5 minute walk to ICBCS, so please plan a few extra minutes for parking and walking over.  Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Be considerate:
        – Follow the rules.
        – Avoid talking loudly when the taraweeh prayer is going on.
        – Ensure your cell phones are off or on silent mode.
        – Insha-Allah there will be plenty food to go round – remember the principle of “ithar” (giving preference to others).
        – Staff and volunteers are doing their best so if you have a concern, please express it gently and they will try to address it. 
 
Safety: 
        – Sisters should avoid walking alone after taraweeh or before qiyam prayers. Either try to get rides with families or at least be in groups.
        – Everyone needs to watch out for any unusual behavior of strangers.
