A Friendly Reminder About Parking at Saint John XXIII
 

We’re grateful you’re here. While our parking is available for all, our church parking lot is meant to serve the needs of our parish community, students, and visitors throughout the week. From daytime, to weeknight and weekend activities, our parish community experiences very large influxes of parking as sudden intervals during multiple days of the week. 

​

To keep the lot available, safe, well-lit, and in good shape, we
ask everyone who parks here to pay the posted parking fee:


ï‚· $6 on regular days
ï‚· $15 on CSU basketball game days
ï‚· $20 on CSU football game days


These fees serve the purpose to help us in the basic maintenance of the lot, keeping it paved, striped, and well cared for, so that it remains a welcoming and reliable space for everyone who uses it. We also try to keep the fee to park in the lot low and accommodating for any visitors wishing to use the lot for purposes of visiting any neighboring businesses and CSU's campus.

​

Additionally, it is for security and for safety purposes that the lot is monitored by a towing company, which also monitors multiple lots nearby and throughout the city.


If someone chooses not to pay the parking fee, they do risk being towed, and the cost of towing
and impound in Fort Collins can be around $400–$500. None of that money from towing comes to the church. It all goes directly to the towing company.

 

In addition, towing is done at random throughout posted lots in the city. And the towing company decides based on their schedule when and who to enforce towing upon.

 

When towing does happen, the church actually loses out on some support through the small parking fees mentioned above which help us maintain the lot and thus support our ministry.

 

To ensure drivers are not towed, ample signage has been posted throughout both the larger lot off of University Avenue and the smaller parking lot adjacent to Shields Street.

​

Our hope is simple:
We want to save you the stress and expense of being towed, and we want every dollar we
receive to go toward serving students and parishioners.
Thank you for helping us keep this space welcoming, safe, and available for everyone who
comes here to pray, study, or visit. Your cooperation truly makes a difference.

​

FYI: Parking also remains open and free for access during all of our posted service and Mass times. 

 

For those interested in longer annual or semester parking passes, feel free to purchase a pass through the QR code signage in the lot, the same way you would pay for a one time parking pass.
