Parking at Gesu Effective Tuesday, May 27, 2008

  • Ample, free parking is available in the Marquette University parking structure at 1240 W. Wells Street, the corner of 13th and Wells. This structure, just one block from Gesu's front door, is secure and is monitored 24 hours a day by Marquette University Public Safety. Enter the structure from Wells Street and tell the attendant that you are a Gesu parishioner or guest.

  • Additional free parking is available on the Marquette University surface lot at 733 N. 12th Street. This is known as Lot F. Typically, the gates to the lot will be open on weekends. If an attendant is at the lot entrance, simply tell him or her that you are going to Gesu. If you are visiting Gesu on a weekday or evening, or if no attendant is at the gate, then press the button. This button activates a vid-com system which connects to the 16th Street Structure Lot attendant booth. This booth is staffed 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 7 a.m.- 12 midnight on Friday and Saturday. Tell the respondent that you are attending an event at Gesu and if space is available, you will be permitted access to the lot.

  • Parking will remain available adjacent to the Parish Center and church. The entrance to the lot will remain in its present location on 11th Street between Wisconsin Avenue and Clybourn Street. This parking will be restricted to Gesu parishioners and visitors. During the construction period, about half the current spots will be available. For that reason, we ask anyone who is able to do so to use the parking structure on 13th and Wells Streets so that the parking near the Parish Center and Church is available to those who have the greatest need of it.

  • If you have questions or suggestions about parking at Gesu during the construction period, plese let us know. Contact the Parish Center at (414) 288-7101 or email us at gesu@gesuparish.org.
