New Parking Procedures at St. Andrew's Cathedral

Effective June 1, new procedures for parking at St. Andrew's Cathedral will be taking place.  Diamond Parking Services, a parking management company, has been contracted to take over the operational aspect of the parking lot.  Volunteers and visitors to the Cathedral, St. Paul's and the Office of the Bishop will need to display visitor passes in their car during times outside of services and major events.

Visitors and those doing business in the Cathedral offices will park in the reserved office visitor area (curved stall area fronting the Memorial Building), and must proceed to the Cathedral office to obtain a parking pass.

Those with business in the Bishop's Office may request a parking pass for one of a limited number of reserved stalls in Lot D.  Lot D is located on the mauka side of the Memorial Building and is accessed via Queen Emma Square.  Please be aware that coordination of activities with other entities on the Close may take stalls out of service from time to time.

Use of Cathedral parking for meetings and events taking place at the Cathedral will require significant advance notice to Diamond Parking.  Exact time frame and procedures for reservation requests and obtaining approval will be posted shortly on the diocesan website.

For more information, call Diamond Parking Services at 808-592-7275 or call St. Andrew's Cathedral office at 808-524-2822 or 524-2823.
