Transportation & Parking

Shuttle Busses

Shuttles have been arranged for pilgrims coming from various locales. Please RSVP here so that we can maintain as accurate a headcount as possible, and please consider making a donation to help defray the cost.

These shuttles will provide transportation to St. Thomas More Cathedral before the pilgrimage in the morning, and return transportation from St. Matthew Cathedral after the pilgrimage.

There will also be shuttles from St. Matthew back to St. Thomas More for local pilgrims to return to their cars, as there were at the September 2022 pilgrimage. As another alternative, the Farragut North Metro Station is a short walk (less than a quarter mile) from St. Matthew. From there, the Orange and Silver Lines run to the Virginia Square–GMU Metro Station near St. Thomas More (slightly over a mile walk).
