Residents to hold meeting on Joliet Catholic Academy stadium plan

Demolition of the Our Lady of Angels Retirement Home will make for an on-campus football stadium at Joliet Catholic Academy if the Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals approves the plan. April 16, 2025

Neighbors will hold a meeting on Wednesday to discuss the Joliet Catholic Academy stadium plan.

The meeting is 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Croatian Cultural Club, 1503 Clement St., Joliet.

Resident Jori Gura said the meeting was planned before she learned Friday that a vote on the project that was expected next week has been postponed.

Flyers announcing the meeting have already gone through the neighborhood, and the meeting will go on as planned, Gura said.

“By the time we are done, we will have passed out 300 to 400 flyers,” she said.

City officials and JCA representatives have been invited to the meeting, Gura said.

“We want them [JCA] there,” she said. “We want to know that their plans are.”
