Please contact the office for reservations and questions, 402-476-2610. All paperwork and insurance must be completed 4 weeks in advance of your event. Rentals are only reserved with the submission of a deposit.
PLEASE NOTE: The Parish Hall is Under Video Surveillance 24/7.
Reservations and Availability
Reservations will be processed in the order received and confirmed only with the receipt of the signed rental agreement, applicable rental/alcohol usage deposit, certificate of insurance (if required), Facility Usage Application/Indemnity Agreement, and any other associated fees. If you cancel 30 or more days before the event, you are not penalized. However, cancelling within the 30-day window results in the forfeiture of your deposit.
Hours the hall can be used, which includes setup and breakdown, are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Special permission must be obtained to begin setup the day before and it will be charged by the hour. Cleanup must be completed by the end of the event on that day within your reserved time. Rental is for 6 hours only. Additional hours may be purchased at $50 per hour.
Rental Fees/Damage Liability
No fees or insurance are required for parish approved groups such as Altar Society, Holy Name, CCD, etc.
A $150 fee for 6 hrs. only will be charged for all events that have 50 people or fewer in attendance.
A $200 fee for 6 hrs. only will be charged for events that will have over 50 people in attendance.
An additional $50 fee per hour for every hour over 6 hours.
An additional fee of $50 will be charged for use of the Parish Hall kitchen facilities.
Deposits: A $200.00 deposit is required for events and $300 if serving alcohol. The deposit will be returned following a satisfactory inspection of the facility following the event. Any unusual cleanup or repairs required because of the event, which exceeds the security deposit, will be billed to the event sponsor/coordinator.
Insurance coverage is not required if the event is sponsored by a Diocesan parish, school, or institution; a Baptism, First Communion, or Confirmation reception with no alcohol served, and the event is fewer than 40 people. Renting for under/over 40 people for any event other than those listed will need insurance if alcohol is served and will be paid for by the renter. You may provide your own insurance coverage or use the Diocesan insurance coverage for a non-refundable fee of $125 per event. Insurance must be received and paid for 15 days prior to the event. Insurance can be purchased up to six months in advance.
Decorating NO GLITTER ALLOWED
Please do not affix decorations to wall surfaces or windows. No tape is allowed on painted surfaces. All decorating must be self-standing, self-maintained or on the tables and non-painted surfaces. All decorations must be removed from the premises when the event is over.
Security/Key Control
The Facility Coordinator will issue a code to the Event Coordinator which will unlock the facility. The code will be usable during the event’s hours only. After that time, it will not open the facility. The code will only be issued after all fees are paid, the lease contract and documents are signed and approved, and any insurance needed has been provided.
Premises Safety
Minors are always to be supervised by responsible adults. The event sponsor/coordinator is responsible for the facility and all attendees at the event while they are preparing for, during, and while cleaning up after the event.
All areas are to be checked for lingering people; and then the exterior doors will be locked and checked again by the sponsor/coordinator, who must be the last person to exit the building.
Respect for neighbors must be maintained to ensure noise, parking, outdoor activities, etc. are within reasonable limits to not disrupt or disturb neighbors.
General Cleaning Guidelines/Product Usage
[A Checklist will be provided]
- Facility will provide sanitizing detergent, cleaners, and garbage can liners.
- Wipe off counter tops, tables, and chairs.
- Sweep and mop kitchen floor and tiled areas.
- Wash any dishes, serving pieces, etc. and return to the appropriate drawer or cupboard.
- Run the garbage disposal.
- Wipe out the stainless sinks and faucets with a dry cloth.
- Clean any carpet stains and vacuum carpeted floors (vacuum is provided).
- Return tables and chairs to their original locations.
- Take all trash to the dumpster in the parking lot.
- Replace liners in wastebaskets (liners provided).
- Remove leftovers from the refrigerator.
- Make sure bathrooms are clean and in good order.
The Event Coordinator must use their own food service paper and plastic products. Using the Facility’s paper and plastic products is not allowed. Any leftover products brought in for the event must be removed from the premises once the event is concluded.
A walkthrough of the premises with the Facility Coordinator and Event Coordinator must be completed before the $200 deposit and/or $300 alcohol deposit can be returned. Refusing to complete a walkthrough will result in the loss of any refundable deposits.
Smoking/Alcohol Use
Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside the Facility.
Alcoholic beverages may only be served (but not sold) with written permission from the parish office. Licensed bartenders should always be present (or an individual who has had adequate training in dispensing alcohol). All bartenders must be at least 21 years of age.
Alcohol may never be served to an individual under the legal drinking age. Identification must be checked for anyone who appears to be under the age of 30.
An individual is only allowed to order or obtain one drink at a time. This will assist in deterring someone from becoming too rapidly intoxicated and will deter someone from providing a drink to a minor.
A pre-existing plan should exist to handle individuals who have had too much to drink.
