Our three parish campuses have a number of different spaces available both for parish events and to the wider community. In order to use parish space for any event you must schedule the use of the space ahead of time. You can check to see if the space you want to use is available by checking our calendar. Once you check, you should submit a request for use of space by filling in the form below or calling Carol Wynne at (585) 254-3221, ext 114 or emailing her at carol.wynne@dor.org. Please keep in mind that a request for the same space might have been submitted before yours, even if the space was available on the calendar. In assigning the use of space we give priority to parish events and assign the space on a first come first served basis.
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 and a hold harmless agreement 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, at the same time as you submit your request by filling in the form below. The documents should be submitted via email to elvy.delgado@dor.org. 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.
To community organizations: We are happy to have you use our space at no cost to you. We will accept donations.
To all private parties: For use of meeting spaces other than the hall a small donation of $75, to cover utilities will be requested. Those that are able to make a bigger donation are invited to do so at their own discretion. Some exceptions might be considered. Please feel free to contact Father Daniel regarding exceptions at fr.daniel.ruiz@dor.org. Please make a check payable to Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini Parish and mail it to the parish office.
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 $600 will be requested. 2. A deposit of an addittional $600 will also be requested. 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, the day before the event after 2 pm for setup and the day after the event between 9 am and noon for clean up.
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.
