East 8th Street will be closed in front of the Basilica for three days, from December 13-15, while a crane is on-site repairing loose mortar on the bell tower. During this time,:
There will not be thru-traffic between Georgia Ave. and Lindsey St.
The Basilica main parking lot will be closed. Visitors can park at All Saints Academy at 310 E 8th Street, accessed from Lindsey Street. (There is no need to pay for parking while the crane is present.)
The front entrance to the church will not be accessible.
The Basilica campus can only be accessed by walking through the side gate on Lindsey Street at the St. Dominic Building.
Visitors can then enter the church through the lower level glass door entrance to Varallo Parish Hall.
Thank you for your patience as we make these repairs necessary for everyone's safety.
