Parking and Transportation

Emmanuel Church is located at 811 Cathedral Street in Baltimore, on the corner of Cathedral & W. Read Streets in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood.

Those attending worship on Sunday mornings are welcome to park in the lot at 810 N. Charles Street — directly adjacent to Emmanuel Church — free of charge until 1:00 p.m. Simply ask an usher at the church for a parking pass to display in your car’s window. NOTE: this lot is not free at other times of the week.

Ample street parking, both free and metered, is available in historic Mt. Vernon. After 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, and all day on Sundays, many meters do not require payment and most residential restrictions are lifted. Please be sure to consult signage carefully.

However, we strongly encourage our guests to avoid the stress of searching for street parking, and to make a parking plan before arriving into our residential neighborhood. To that end, the following websites and associated mobile apps may be very useful:

**NEW** Special Discount at Neighborhood PMI Parking Lots
Thanks to a cooperative agreement with PMI, we're happy to announce that Emmanuel community members can enjoy discounted parking (under $11 a day) for day time and evening parking in local PMI parking lots! Take the following steps to take advantage of this special rate:

  1. Download the HONK app for mobile OR navigate to honkmobile.com; create an account or login to an existing one.

  2. Search for and select the lot you want to park in (814 N Charles is directly behind the church; discounts apply to other lots in the area)

  3. Carefully select the date and time you plan to begin parking (this can be done days in advance!). If you set the start time before 4 PM, you will be charged for 1 day, ending at 6 PM. If you set the start time at 4 PM or later, you can select "overnight" and pay to park until 6 AM.
