Parking:

There are several parking lots located within a short distance of the church and reception, they are marked on the last map below. There is a lot 1/2 block away from the Reception on Chancelor Street that will be $12.00 for parking from 4:00p until 10:00pm. There are two lots there, it is the bigger one, "Central Parking". You must get your ticket validated at the Reception. This is where we recommend you park. To get to this lot, follow the directions for the church, and look for Chancelor Street just after Walnut, 2 blocks before you get to the church.

Also, if you don't mind the walk, there is reduced rate parking available at the Graduate Hospital Parking Garage at the corner of 17th and South. Parking is only $3.00 there if you get your ticket validated in the church. It's about a 4 block walk to the church, and 5 from the reception. See the map below for other parking locations.

Parking on the streets near the church is available on 17th Street from Spruce to Pine, 18th Street from Spruce to Pine, and Spruce Street from 17th to 18th. If you are going to park on the street, please make sure you stop in to the church and pick up a "Parking Permit" before you park. You'll have to display this pass in the front window of your car, or you will get ticketed. Also, this permit is only from 3:00-6:00 so you will have to feed the meters after 6:00

If you are coming from New Jersey and you don't want to deal with parking and driving in the city, we highly recommend you take the Patco High Speed Line. Take it to the last stop, 15th/16th. use the 16th and Locust exit. This puts you within 1 block of the reception and 2 block of the church. The High Speed Line exit/entrance is marked on the last map below.
