Parking

How can I get a parking pass?

When do I need a permit:

  • If you have a disability placard/plate, you will need this permit to park in the Bellarmine Circle during mass.
  • If you volunteer or attend meetings Mon-Sat at the Chapel, you will need this permit to park in lined spaces in any of the Xavier lots around the Chapel or on University Drive.

If you are a Xavier staff/faculty member or a Xavier student, please do not request this permit.  You need to get a permit from the University.

Please complete this form: Parking Permit for Bellarmine Chapel. You will be contacted when the placard is ready for pickup.

 

Daily & Sunday Mass Parking

The “No Ticket Window” for daily and Sunday Mass times include the following:

  1.     Monday-Saturday:       7:30 am – 8:45 am
  2.     Monday-Friday:            4:30 pm – 5:45 pm
  3.     Sunday:                          All Day

During the above times, you can park in any designated (lined) space in the campus lots near the chapel or along University Drive.

If you have a valid disability license plate/placard and a Bellarmine placard, you can park in the Bellarmine Circle during the above times for mass. When parking in the Bellarmine circle (with appropriate placards), please: 

  • Parallel park on the outer edge of the circle so that large vehicles (buses, emergency equipment, etc.) can still go around the circle.
  • Do not park between the concrete flower pots in front of the chapel. This provides access to get to other buildings on campus.

If you have a Bellarmine placard, you can park along Musketeer Drive (cobblestone between the intersection and the Bellarmine Circle) during the above times for mass.

Normal/general parking rules (i.e., no parking by fire hydrants, a valid disability license plate/placard is required to park in any lined handicap space, etc.) will apply during these times.

NOTE: Bellarmine will advise the University for Holy Day mass times. The “No Ticket Window” will be a half hour before mass begins and 15 minutes after mass ends.

Citations will be issued:

  • If you park in the Bellarmine Circle or along Musketeer Drive inside the above mass times without the appropriate placards.
