Dear Friends, May God s blessing be upon you and your loved ones always. Thank you for your interest in scheduling an event at our parish. To facilitate your request, we will need the following: A letter of request (addressed to the Pastor) which indicates the nature of your event, the purpose, and a program of activities. A signature of approval is needed before the event is scheduled. The signed Facility Use Regulations form The Facility Diagram indicating which areas you are reserving and what special needs you will have which may include set-up, including the placement of tables and chairs. (Must be submitted to finalize reservation.) A check in the amount of $200 is required as a bond to ensure that the facility will be returned to the condition in which you found it. If the facility is in good condition after your event, your bond will be returned to you. A minimum donation of $200 is suggested for the use of the facilities. However, to use the whole Parish Hall, we suggest a $500 donation. This is NON-REFUNDABLE. These items must be received at least two (2) months before the date of your event(s). An exception to this timing is funeral receptions. Please be informed that we usually accept only events that are faith-based or connected to the pastoral life of the Church. All activities are subject to the approval of the Pastor. Once again, thank you for your understanding and consideration of our policies and procedures. Rev. Thomas Paul K. Naval Pastor
