DRIVING DIRECTIONS

From Route 81 Northbound from Harrisburg

Take Route 81 to exit 180  (Route 11, Moosic), This is a left-hand exit off I-81, once you make the exit, bear to the right at the first split towards Moosic.  You will merge with Birney Avenue and need to get into the right lane to make a right turn at the first traffic light, which will be Main Street, Moosic.  After crossing RR tracks, make right onto Moosic Road at Genotti's Food Market.  Follow Moosic Road into Old Forge (be sure to make the left turn at the Car Sales to stay on Moosic Road). At the traffic light in Old Forge be in the right-hand lane to make a right turn onto Main Street and then make an immediate left turn onto Oak Street.  Follow Oak Street to Church Street and make a right turn onto Church Street (this is the fist "one way" street off of Oak).  The church will be at the top of the hill at the intersection of Church and Winter Streets. Parking is available to your right across from the church on Short Street, as well as a small lot beyond the church on Winter Street.

From Interstate 476 - Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike coming North from Philadelphia

When approaching the Wilkes-Bare/Scranton Area there are two ways, to arrive at St. Michael's Parish.

First (easiest) After paying your toll ticket at the Wyoming Valley Plaza, stay on the Turnpike until the next toll plaza (requires a 50 cent fee), exit immediately after tool booth to the Keyser Avenue/Old Forge Exit.  At stop sign on Union Ave. go left, then at traffic light make another left.  Proceed into Old Forge on Keyser Ave. until junction with Oak St. (an abandoned BP station is at this intersection).  Make a left onto Oak St. and follow it around until Church St., make a left on Church and travel to the corner of Church & Winter Streets where the Church will be on your left and our parking lot will be on our right.  NOTE:  There are directions signs mounted on the telephone poles at the corner of Oak & Keyser and Oak & Church pointing you towards the church.

Second (save fifty cents, almost as easy):  After paying toll at Wyoming Valley Plaza, take first exit to Scranton and I-81 North.  Follow signs that get you to 81 North and follow directions as above at exit 180.
