Our Lady of the Wayside is a large Roman Catholic parish serving approximately 3,000 families located on the south side of Arlington Heights, Illinois. We are a parish who lives the message and mission of Jesus. We do this by building a nurturing Catholic community through prayer, service, and celebration. In addition to our beautiful Church, OLW has vibrant faith community, active social and pastoral ministries and committees, and a Blue-Ribbon Award-winning K-8 elementary school and a pre-school, located in three of the four parish buildings. We invite you to worship and learn with us.
