Parking

We recommend parking in the Cathedral’s underground parking garage. There is very limited parking on the Cathedral grounds, which require a hang tag.  However, there is some parking in the surrounding neighborhood.  However, after 3:30 pm (Monday through Friday) parking is available on South Road.  On Saturdays & Sunday  - Open parking on South Road all day.

Note:  During Flower Mart (May 2nd-4th) there will be no street parking on the Close at any time.  Parking in the garage and/or neighborhood remain an option.
