The Borough does charge for parking in the garages on special event weekends (PSU home football games, Arts Festival, PSU Spring Graduation). On those Sunday mornings, you can stop by the Information Desk outside the Church Office and pick up a voucher that will pay for your parking (up to 3 hours) in the Beaver Avenue Garage, at no cost to the church. Visitors may also park in the Beaver Municipal Parking Lot, next to the church parking lot. Parking is free on Sundays, but there is a charge for parking Monday-Saturday.
