Plan Your Visit to Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul
Where is the basilica entrance?
Use 214 East 8th Street for directions to the church. The parish’s parking map distinguishes the entrance and the surrounding lots from nearby streets such as Patten Parkway. For a concert, consult the organizer’s arrival instructions, which may have a particular entrance or check-in point.
Which lots can visitors use?
The parish identifies parking beside the church and publishes a map of additional options. Some nearby private spaces are available only during specified hours or for regular weekend Masses. Check the rules for the lot you choose. If you use metered street parking, follow the signs at the space.
The parish map identifies the rectory lot and lists additional options with separate conditions. Its instructions list the All Saints Academy lot at 310 East 8th Street for people attending a basilica event. Check the published map and signs for hours before relying on any overflow lot.
How should I plan for a concert in the church?
Check the concert organizer’s seating information for that performance. The basilica’s ordinary worship arrangements don’t establish the admission or seating plan for a touring event. If you need a particular seat or route into the building, contact the organizer before choosing a ticket.
When can I visit outside of a concert?
The parish posts hours for prayer and asks people to arrange tours with the parish office in advance. Holiday office closures can change when the church opens. Treat concert admission as a separate visit and consult the organizer for the event’s opening time.
