COVID-19 Testing

Parishioners of St. Rosalie Catholic Church,

We live in a difficult and turbulent time, one full of uncertainty and trials previously thought impossible in the modern world. Many of our friends and family members continue to fall ill with even the most reliable institutions - our jobs, churches, and grocery stores – closing all around us. As people of conviction, like yourselves, we at Simple Laboratories believe that the capacity to do good and the responsibility to act are one the same. Seeing an opportunity to provide testing to a large number of area patients, we’ve pivoted our operations heavily in support of the battle against COVID -19. An endeavor of this magnitude requires establishing strong partnerships and rallying firm community support. It is for this reason that we turned to you.

Over the past two weeks, we’ve introduced a four-part plan aimed at expanding COVID-19 testing throughout Illinois communities. Our first testing location is stationed in the Saint Rosalie parish parking lot running along W. Montrose Ave. This site not only provides up to 400 COVID-19 nasal swab and/or blood-drawn antibody tests per day, it additionally created 12 new jobs here in the Village of Harwood Heights. Recognizing that none of this would be possible without the help of Fr. Tom, Fr. Marcin, St. Rosalie parish staff, and your wonderful faith community, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to each and every one of you. We greatly appreciate your generosity and continued partnership as we take the first steps together towards a stronger and healthier post- COVID-19 world.

In addition to expressing our appreciation for your support, we would like to invite you to make use of our testing facilities. All of our testing capabilities are currently available to you.
