Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel

Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel, also known as the Our Lady of Guadalupe Church and International Shrine of St. Jude, is one of New Orleans’ oldest surviving church buildings and sits right on the edge of the historic French Quarter. Visitors are drawn by its peaceful interior, traditional Catholic services, and devotional shrines, making it a meaningful stop for both pilgrims and sightseers exploring the city’s rich spiritual and cultural heritage. Located along busy North Rampart Street near major hotels, entertainment venues, and the streetcar line, the area often sees steady traffic and a regular flow of pedestrians.

Because the chapel sits by the French Quarter, parking is in high demand and curbside spaces are often limited, with metered street parking typically enforced during daytime and early evening hours and residential or time-restricted zones on nearby blocks. Planning where to park and booking in advance helps avoid circling through congested streets, reduces the risk of tickets, and makes it easier to arrive on time for Mass, tours, or quiet reflection, which is why many visitors look for parking near Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel before they arrive. Always review current city parking regulations, posted signs, and official local resources when planning your visit, as rules and enforcement practices can change.
