At the recommendation of the Parish Pastoral Council and our Facilities Advisory Committee about possibilities for our property at All Saints Academy, we are conducting a three-month study Sept. 18 through Dec. 12, 2023, to determine the viability of offering paid parking to the public at All Saints Academy, our property at 310 E 8th Street. If you park there to attend Mass or another Basilica event, you will not have to pay during the event. However, you will need to immediately validate your parking at the Basilica with your smartphone by taking a picture of the QR code displayed at each entrance of our buildings, and then enter your license plate number and phone number.
