*Active parishioners receive a 30% discount. This discount, given at the discretion of the pastor, applies to the fees for the gym, Fr. Carberry Hall, the kitchen, the Conference Room, and the chairs and tables. (Please note that if you need the Gym for sports training for the youth (minors), a special insurance policy is needed. The rates for usage of the Gym for sports or short term meetings on conferences (in the rentable rooms) can be discussed with the office and they will be about $45 per hour and above).
To qualify for the parishioner's discount, you must be registered in the parish, and you must have a consistent giving history and/or be actively volunteering in a ministry. This discount only applies if the parishioner in person is requesting the facility for their own use, and they are the signers of the agreement; it is not transferrable to include family members or relatives who are not involved in the parish. Such relatives will be considered inactive or non-parishioners.
A complete rental agreement, insurance, and a $500 damage/cleaning deposit (plus the security deposit for evening events) are necessary to fully secure a reservation. These deposits are refundable if the reservation is cancelled at least one month before the event date (this regards major events like weddings, full day workshops,etc).
Security Deposit for evening events: All evening events MUST end at 10 pm, and renters should be gone from the premises by 10:30 pm. After 10:30 pm, $200 will deducted from the deposit in 30 minute increments.
Monitor: All reservations require a monitor agent present, which will be provided by Our Lady of Sorrows. A church administrator will determine the number of hours needed for the agent based on the event.
The balance of anticipated fees are due in full 30 days prior to the event.
Please note that the parish facilities at Our Lady of Sorrows are intended PRIMARILY for church use, and secondarily for non-church or public use.
Payment will be accepted in the form of cash, check, or online via credit Card.
