Is there parking at the church?

Free parking is available for two hours at the large Douglas Parking Garage next to the rectory on Casino Center Blvd. You must have a validated ticket to exit the garage. Barcode tickets are available in the lobby. The gravel lot located next the church belongs to the Downtown Events Center. The parish does have permission to park there with the use of a parking pass, which is to be displayed on your vehicle’s dashboard, before the liturgy begins – to avoid towing. Parking passes are located inside the church and must be placed immediately upon obtaining. At times of special events the lot may not be available. We encourage the use of carpooling, Uber, Lyft or cabs.
