How do we get to the Cathedral?
St. Mary's Cathedral is located at 203 E. 10th St, Austin Texas 78701. The nearest cross street is Brazos. It is located in downtown Austin, not far from the Capital. You can take I35 to 10th street and travel west on 10th St to Brazos. It is next to the Fox 7 News Studio and is a large Gothic-style Cathedral.
Are tickets refundable?
No, we are not able to refund tickets.
Will we be assured a seat?
Seating begins at 7pm this year. The Cathedral holds 500 seated people. We are selling 500 tickets. After 7:30pm we will open the door to non ticket holders to fill up no show seats and for standing room only areas. If you have purchased a ticket, you should be able to be seated provided you arrive by 7:30pm. After 7:30pm we cannot guarantee seating. You will be considered a no show. Also, when being seated please respect any seats that are reserved. These seats are reserved for volunteers or performers. It might seem as if no one is going to sit there, but that is because they are working right until the very beginning of the program. Late arrivals may also be asked to wait until a moment of applause in between a number being performed before entering and being seated.
Where do we park?
Parking is mainly on the street. There is some limited parking in the garage behind the Cathedral. You do not have to pay the parking meters after 6pm downtown. There will be plenty of street parking since the majority of businesses will be closed at that hour. NOTE - Parking is NOT CURRENTLY available in the PECU lot, after 6 p.m., on the NE corner of San Jacinto and 10th streets. Because of an incident (unrelated to us or the Cathedral) they no longer let folks park there. If this changes by December we will update this message.
There are handicap parking spaces in the alley behind the Cathedral, the alley is between 9th and 10th streets and entered from Brazos street. The show has sold out every year, so the later you arrive the harder it will be to find parking.
Is there handicap access?
There is a handicap ramp entrance to the left of the main entrance of the church. Handicap (wheelchair) seating can be arranged in advance by calling 512-472-4540. You can be seated at the back of the church or the front.
Where are the restrooms?
There are no restrooms in the main Cathedral. The restrooms are located in Rectory Building, next to the Cathedral Church, and in the Donahue Center, which is behind the Church. It might be difficult to get up during the performance. We do advise that you visit the restroom before the program begins and during the intermission. The first half of the show will last approximately one hour and the second half approximately 50 minutes. If you must leave during the performance please try to exit quietly. The large double doors to the rear of the Church make a very loud noise when closed.
Can I bring my children?
Yes, you can. However, there are no discount tickets for children. We do not recommend that you bring children under 10 years of age. If you bring an infant, please use the cry room located just inside the main entrance of the Church in the Cathedral. The Cathedral is built to carry and amplify sounds, the sounds of a restless child or crying baby will be much louder than you may anticipate. In addition, the Cathedral will be full to capacity, you may find it difficult to remove yourself and your child during the performance. Because the program is being recorded, the music director may wait until a crying or disruptive child is settled before continuing to the next selection.
I have other questions, who do I contact?
