We’re excited to offer our spacious hall for your special events. Here’s everything you need to know to get started:

Reserving Your Date

To hold your preferred date and time, a $500 rental deposit is required. This deposit is separate from the hall rental fee. Depending on the amount of cleaning you do after your event, part of this deposit may be refundable.

Rental Rates

For Registered Parishioners:1

  • $500 for the first 3 hours
  • $100 for each additional hour
  • The balance is due 30 days before your event

For Non-Registered Parishioners:

  • $700 for the first 3 hours
  • $200 for each additional hour
  • The balance is due 30 days before your event

Insurance

Insurance coverage is required and can be obtained through an approved provider from the Diocese. The cost varies based on the number of attendees and whether liquor liability is included, ranging from $100 to $400. You can find detailed pricing through the link below.

Security Deposit

A $500 security deposit is also due 30 days prior to the event. This is separate from the rental fee. You have the option to clean the hall yourselves within your rental time, or we can deduct $300 from the deposit to cover cleaning services.
