Mega Strip Club Set to Open Next to Convent

A $3 million strip club is planned just steps away from a convent, despite the presence of children and others who find the adult entertainment facility, called Get It, offensive.

Thomas More Society attorneys are demanding that the village of Stone Park, Ill., put a halt to construction of the strip club.

“For over 60 years, the Sisters of St. Charles have devoted their lives to teaching the children of Stone Park—service for which they’re now being repaid with a ‘porno palace’ towering over their convent,” said Peter Breen, executive director of the Thomas More Society. “This facility was located in clear violation of state law, and zoning permissions were given without notice to the sisters, whose convent is located immediately next to this facility.”

According to the mayor of Stone Park, the village chose not to defend the developer’s lawsuit because doing so would cost the village $500,000. Village officials have discouraged residents and the sisters from protesting “Get It.” However, this week, the Thomas More Society offered free legal services to the village of Stone Park should it choose to join residents in taking action against “Get It.”

“Get It” personnel have claimed that the facility is set to have its first “dry run” on April 1, and will officially open its doors during Holy Week, the most hallowed week on the Christian calendar, leading up to Easter Sunday.
