Trained Docents (tour guides) are provided unless you make other arrangements with the Tour Coordinator.

SELF-GUIDED TOUR – The brochure, The Art & Architecture of the Basilica of Saint Lawrence, D.M., provides a very informative self-guided tour.  When visiting the Basilica, copies may be found in the side vestibule. You may also download a copy of the brochure HERE

Tours are free but donations are very much appreciated.

 

Church parking is located in the first lot to the west of the Parish Office building and behind the Basilica.  On weekends additional parking available is in the large gated lot across the street.

The Basilica’s parking lots are clearly marked “Church Parking.”  Parishioners and the many Visitors who attend Mass at the Basilica usually find our parking adequate unless they arrive late.  There is no charge for parking to attend daily and weekend Masses, and other church activities.

When visiting the Basilica please pay close attention to our parking lot signage, as parking in non-church lots may result in the unpleasant, expensive experience of having your vehicle towed.
