Parking

On Sundays, parking is generally available on Broadway, Holland Avenue, and nearby side streets.  Parking meter and resident permit restrictions are suspended.  However, when a special, neighborhood event – a parade or a road race, for example – is held on a Sunday, the city of Somerville may institute a parking ban on Broadway and Holland Avenue.  Temporary signage indicates when such a ban is in effect.

Posted parking regulations are in effect for weekday services such as Ash Wednesday and Maundy Thursday. Parking meter hours in Somerville run until 8:00 p.m.

Please note that parishioners and visitors are not allowed to park in the lot across from the Clarendon Street entrance to the church.
