Where to Park for Sunday Services at the Cathedral Church of Saint Luke

Updated

For Sunday services at the Cathedral Church of Saint Luke (130 N Magnolia Ave., Orlando, FL 32801), visitors have three free options: the surface lot at Washington and Magnolia, downtown street meters (free all day Sunday), and the Regions Bank garage at Orange Ave. and Washington St. The garage requires an entrance ticket plus an exit ticket from an usher. The small lot behind the cathedral on Jefferson Street is reserved for staff and those with limited mobility.

Sunday Parking Options at a Glance

Option Location Cost on Sunday What you need to do
Surface lot Corner of Washington and Magnolia Free on Sunday mornings Park and walk to the cathedral
Street meters Downtown Orlando streets Free all day Sunday No payment needed
Regions Bank garage Northeast corner of Orange Ave. and Washington St. Free for Sunday services Take an entrance ticket on the up-ramp; pick up an exit ticket from an usher at the cathedral; use both to exit
Small lot behind cathedral Jefferson Street Reserved Only for staff and those with limited mobility; one handicap space available

How the Regions Bank Garage Works

This is the option most first-time visitors get wrong, so the sequence matters:

  1. Enter the garage via the up-ramp on Washington Street and take the entrance ticket from the machine.
  2. At the cathedral, ask an usher for an exit ticket.
  3. Exit the garage using both tickets together — the church states this lets you leave free of charge.

If you skip step 2, you won't have the second ticket needed for the free exit, so pick it up before the service ends or as you leave.

Weekday Parking

If you're visiting Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., the Washington Street lot has ten designated spaces available at no charge for cathedral visitors. The Wednesday 12:05 p.m. Midday Eucharist is the weekday service listed on the site, so this applies if you attend it.

Practical Notes

  • Address for navigation: 130 N Magnolia Ave., Orlando, FL 32801.
  • Limited mobility: use the Jefferson Street lot behind the cathedral — it is reserved for staff and those with limited mobility and has one handicap space.
  • Can't attend in person? The 10:15 a.m. Sunday service is livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube.
  • Questions or urgent pastoral care: the parish office can be reached at 407-849-0680.

Arriving a few minutes early is worthwhile on your first visit, mainly to sort out the garage tickets and find your way to the entrance before the 8 a.m., 10:15 a.m., or 6 p.m. service begins.
