From the north: Take I-93 South (Southeast Expressway) through the city and get off at Exit 18 (Mass. Ave/Roxbury). At the end of the exit ramp, turn right at the lights onto the Mass. Ave. Connector. Stay to the right and at your next set of lights, turn right onto Mass. Avenue. Go under the Boston Medical Center aerial pedestrian walkway, cross Harrison Avenue, and then turn right onto Washington Street. Go several blocks (passing a park on either side of the road) to the very large Cathedral of the Holy Cross. At the traffic light at the Cathedral, take a hard left onto West Dedham Street. Go one block to the stop sign, and turn left onto Shawmut Avenue. Go one short block and turn right onto San Juan Street. Take your first right, which is a small alley that will lead you to the parking lot behind our building. Park on the right in one of the spaces designated for Emmanuel Gospel Center (you’ll be facing the back of our building). Go around to the front of the building, to 2 San Juan Street.

BY SUBWAY

Green Line: We are about a 10-minute walk from Copley Square. Take the Orange Line to Back Bay Station or the Green Line to Copley. Walk up Dartmouth Street, away from Copley Square and into the South End. After several blocks, Dartmouth Street crosses Tremont Street, veers slightly left and changes its name to West Dedham Street. Walk one block up West Dedham Street to Shawmut Avenue. Turn right on Shawmut Avenue and walk one short block to San Juan Street. Turn right on San Juan Street; we are the first building on the right.

Silver Line: We also are very close to the Silver Line that runs on Washington Street. If you are traveling from Dudley Square, please get off at the East Newton Street stop. Cross Washington Street and East Newton Street and walk diagonally across Blackstone Park. (Note that there are parks on either side of Washington Street at that intersection. Blackstone is the one on the opposite side of Washington Street.) At the far side of the park, cross Shawmut Avenue and turn right. Walk one block and cross San Juan Street. Turn left to walk down San Juan Street. Our front door is the first door on the right.

If you are traveling on the Silver Line from Temple Place toward Dudley Square, please get off at the Union Park stop, which is in front of Blackstone School. Walk down the driveway beside the school to Shawmut Avenue. Cross Shawmut and turn left. Walk one block and turn right onto San Juan Street. Our front door is the first door on the right.
