In order to use parish space for any event you must schedule the use of the space ahead of time. You should submit a request for use of space by filling in the form below. Please keep in mind that a request for the same space might have been submitted before yours. In assigning the use of space we give priority to parish events and assign the space on a first come first served basis.
We rent the Hall at Corpus Christi Church for outside events, it can fit up to 230 people.
We are happy to allow community organizations to use our hall at Annunciation Church at no cost, it can fit up to 100 people.
We do not have any space available at Saint Michael Church.
To all using our space: Welcome! Please think of our space as a public park. We provide the space and the furniture. You bring anything else you need. You move the furniture if you need to and make sure to put it back where you found it before you leave, you clean up after yourselves and take your garbage with you when you leave.
You will need to make arrangements to sign out a key during office hours, prior to your event, and to drop off the key, during office hours, as soon as possible after your event. There are no hidden keys anywhere, so you must make sure to sign a key out.
As per Diocese of Rochester policies, if you are going to use our space for a non-parish event you must submit proof of insurance before the space can be assigned to you. If you do not hold insurance, you can obtain a one time special event insurance through the Diocese, the cost per event is $95. To obtain that insurance you will need this form. The insurance has to be obtained and submitted to our office before the event is scheduled.
Please submit these documents via email to Carol Wynne at carol.wynne@dor.org, at the same time as you submit your request by filling in the form below. Once you submit your request, Carol will get back to you as soon as possible to let you know if the space was reserved for you.
For use of one of our halls for a celebration (Quinceañera, Weddings, etc.) all policies above apply with the following addittions: 1. a donation of $900 will be requested. 2. A deposit of an additional $600 will also be requested; those amounts need to be submitted at the time of booking. Checks should be sent to Cabrini Parish, 80 Prince Street, Rochester, New York 14605. If there is no damage, no incidents and the place is left clean you will get your deposit back. 3. When you reserve the hall for one of these events it will be reserved for the day of the event all day until 10 pm.
We expect that you will leave the space exactly as you found it when you came in. All spaces you use should be clean when you leave, and furniture is to be returned to the way it was arranged before your event. Failure to leave the premises clean and organized will mean that we will not allow you to use our space for future events, even if they had already been scheduled. If we have to do additional cleaning or anything is damaged we will expect you to pay for that. You will need to pick up keys to access the building before your event during office hours and return them after the event also during office hours. As you request your space please make sure to account for ample time for set up and clean up to avoid conflicts with other scheduled groups/events.
Please note that external groups are not allowed to use our kitchen.
If an emergency were to occur during your event please call 911 immediately, make sure people are safe, and then proceed to call the parish emergency number (585)210-3024
