By Mary Ann Wyand

St. Michael Church and School are located “exactly one mile east of the north gate” of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, parish sec- retary Dianne Pfennig explained, so faculty mem- bers rent parking spaces to Indianapolis 500 fans on race day as a fundraiser for textbooks and other curricu- lum needs. “They fill the parking lot every year,” Pfennig said. “The same people have been parking here for years. They call us to reserve spots on race day.” Parking spaces rent for $5, she said, and this one- This Ad Is day project helps the teach- ers earn about $1,200 a year to benefit the school. Camera Ready! “It’s hard work for the teachers and their families,” Pfennig said, because the parking lot has to be staffed St. Francis from the predawn hours until late in the day. Because of its close prox- 1844 imity to the Speedway, St. Michael Parish has 5x10 changed the Mass schedule on race weekend for a num- Neg ber of years. “We will have no Masses on Sunday, May 30,” Pfennig said. “There’s no way people could get here. We’re too close to the track.” This year, she said, St. Michael will offer Masses at 4 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday, May 29. The revised liturgy sched- ule enables St. Michael parishioners to avoid the huge traffic jam every year on race day, and also makes it possi- ble for Father Tony Volz, their pastor, to attend the “Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” And, of course, it ensures that St. Michael Parish will have an empty parking lot that Sunday so the teachers can raise money for new books for the students. † START YOUR ENGINES Photos courtesy of Indianapolis Motor Speedway INDY500 Page 14 Indy 500 Supplement The Criterion Friday, May 21, 1999
