In order to book the hall and save the date on our calendar, we require the insurance to be purchased, the deposit paid, and the contract signed.

We have many events, so it’s helpful for you to let me know what date/dates you are considering, to confirm if the date/time is open.  Call Sherri Butler if you have any further questions or would like to look at dates or book the hall. Do not purchase insurance until you confirm the Hall is available.

*Registered parishioner means you have registered via our registration form and in our system for more than one year ago.
