Question
Where should I park?
Answer
On street parking is limited and would like it to be reserved for handicapped parking. There is a small grass lot located on the right side of Hamilton Street that can be an option for a few cars. Saint Rita's Church located at 219 W Schwab Ave Homestead Pa 15120. Parking is located at the rear of the building at the end of Cherry Street or right at the end of Frank Street, follow signs provided. Please be advised this option is a few minute walk or a shuttle will be in rotation. We'd appreciate it if others are willing to carpool or utilize car services if the option is available.
