Parking

Our location within the University Park campus of Penn State can make it challenging to find a parking spot in order to attend Mass. We attempt to keep current with the latest applicable parking regulations, which can be found at PSU Transportation.

You may also pull into the small alleyway between Pasquerilla Spiritual Center and the Music Building. Pull all the way up to the end of the alley and the rear entrance is on your right with a large overhang. You cannot leave your car unattended in the alley, even with the flashers on.
