Parking Garage You may park in the new parking garage during the Mass, seven days a week. The address of the parking garage is 14 W. Superior Street, between Dearborn and State Street, and is located below the tall tower of the new One Chicago Square complex on Lower Level One and Lower Level Two. Validation is available in the Cathedral Vestibule. Instructions to Enter Parking Garage You will enter the two-way driveway on Superior on your left and then turn left at the end of the driveway to proceed down the ramp. The entrance gate will be directly in front of you (do not enter through the entrance gates on your right – they are for the One Chicago Square valet parking staff). Just pull a parking ticket and the Entrance gates will open. You may park in any non-reserved open space on Lower Level One (LL1) or Lower Level Two (LL2). Parking tickets can only be validated for free parking on the Cathedral Campus. Parking Ticket Validation You can validate your parking ticket in our Cathedral vestibule before or after Mass. If you have any questions, you can ask our Security team. It is very important that your vehicle leaves the parking garage within the validated time. If you exceed the validated time on your ticket, you will need to pay a fee of $100 to leave the parking garage. Holy Name Cathedral is not able to waive this fee. If you have any problems with the exit gates, please use the intercom button to reach the garage’s customer service. Please note that we do not manage the operations of the garage. ParkPlus is the garage management company.
Our venue provides signage to direct the guests on where to park. From the parking lot, there will be a shuttle to drop you off at the main entrance. However, we've attached additional information below: Parking information: As you turn onto Academy Drive from Kennedy Road (or Highway 60), you’ll continue down the winding road until you approach the sign that reads “Welcome to Lake Forest Academy”. Directly in front is a traffic circle, turn right at the traffic circle onto Caxy Drive, signs will indicate where to park.
Check out the "Travel" page on our site for more information on hotel room blocks. While we have a hotel block available, guests are welcome to stay anywhere they’d like. Chicago offers plenty of hotel options to suit every preference and budget.
