Yes, both St. Mary of the Angels and Hotel Northland are handicap accessible. There is a dedicated handicap lot at St Mary of the Angels, located directly next to the church on Irwin Street.
Hotel Northland's handicap accessible entrance is on Adams Street. Please note, these doors will be locked to control the flow of high school prom groups. If you need these doors opened, please send a member of your group inside through the Pine Street to open the doors.
Where can I park?

There is a Skywalk that connects the two buildings located on the third floor of the parking ramp. There is also street parking available. For parking near St. Mary of the Angels, there is not a parking lot but there should be plenty of street parking in the surrounding area.
Hey, wasn't there a different church on your invitation? Why does the website say the ceremony is at St. Mary of the Angels?
You are correct! The invitation does state that the ceremony will be held at St. Willebrord at 2 PM. However, due to unforeseen emergent construction that needs to be completed at St. Willebrord, we were informed that it will not be possible to have our wedding ceremony there.
Luckily, there is another church nearby that has graciously allowed us to have our wedding ceremony there! The ceremony will now be held at St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Church starting at 1 PM, which is one hour earlier than previously planned. The address of St. Mary's is 650 S Irwin Ave, Green Bay, WI 54301.
