Holy Name Cathedral Church

The Church is located on the northeast corner of State and Superior Streets, about one-half block south of Chicago Avenue. The Church is three blocks west of Michigan Avenue, and an easy walk from the historic Water Tower.

Reaching Holy Name Cathedral by public transportation

The No. 36 Broadway CTA bus stops at Chicago and State, just a half-block from the Cathedral’s front doors.

Visitors taking any of the Michigan Avenue buses – such as the 151, 147, 146, and others – should get off the bus at Chicago Avenue and walk west to State Street. At State, turn left and you’ll be only steps away from the Cathedral’s front doors.

Visitors using Chicago’s subway system should take the Red Line/Howard train and exit at Chicago and State. If possible, take the stairwell marked “southeast corner” when leaving the station. Whatever exit you use at Chicago & State, once you reach street-level, the Cathedral will be in sight.

Parking Garage

You may park in our new parking garage during any Mass, Cathedral event, or Rectory meeting – seven days a week. The address of the parking garage is 14 W. Superior Street, between Dearborn and State Street, and is located below the tall tower of the new One Chicago Square complex on Lower Level One and Lower Level Two. Validation is available in the Cathedral Vestibule.

Instructions to Enter Parking Garage

You will enter the two-way driveway on Superior on your left and then turn left at the end of the driveway to proceed down the ramp.

Our entrance gate will be directly in front of you (do not enter through the entrance gates on your right – they are for the One Chicago Square valet parking staff).

Just pull a parking ticket and the Entrance gates will open. You may park in any non-reserved open space on Lower Level One (LL1) or Lower Level Two (LL2).

Parking tickets can only be validated for free parking on the Cathedral Campus.

Parking Ticket Validation

You can validate your parking ticket in our Cathedral vestibule before or after Mass. If you have any questions, you can ask our Security team.

It is very important that your vehicle leaves the parking garage within the validated time. If you exceed the validated time on your ticket, you will need to pay a fee of $100 to leave the parking garage. Holy Name Cathedral is not able to waive this fee.

If you have any problems with the exit gates, please use the intercom button to reach the garage’s customer service. Please note that we do not manage the operations of the garage. ParkPlus is the garage management company.
