Please DO NOT park at our lot if you are not coming for a service to St. Michael (St. Mary’s Academy parents or students, motel guests, or Portland State University attendees).
For Sunday 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. Mass, you can use the parking next to St. Michael’s free of charge.

Permits issued to St. Michael staff and volunteers who are scheduled to help during business hours will be hanged from the rearview mirror. PSU students active in the Newman Center can also obtain a parking pass on limited basis. See parking policy below.
Parking during business hours from Monday through Wednesday along the 5th Avenue garden is made available to several St. Mary’s Academy staff, for a charge. Rearview mirror-hanging permits are issued & agreements signed yearly. For this reason, if you are not one of these SMA permitted staff, please do not park along 5th Avenue during business hours from Monday through Wednesday.
Please be mindful of consecutive parish events. For example, if you park to attend 8 a.m. Mass, be aware your spot will be needed for another attending 10:00 A.M. Mass and plan accordingly. Or if you go to the Tuesday or Wednesday evening Mass, be mindful of the next upcoming evening event.
Vehicles parked in lot excluding situations described above & not bearing appropriate permit will be subject to towing.
