Facility Use

“Being Thankful for God’s House and Serving God through The Stewardship of this Blessing”

We are blessed with a vibrant faith community experiencing an ongoing journey of faith evidenced through the growth of our parish’s ministries and activities. This welcome dimension of our parish life brings certain challenges as we cope with limited space and custodial staff, as well as ever-increasing maintenance and utilities costs. Therefore policies and procedures must be instituted in order to effectively, efficiently, and equitably utilize our parish facilities.

These polices are not meant to restrict or discourage parishioners from utilizing St. Matthew's resources. They are intended to benefit the common good, ensuring accountability, safety and stewardship while setting basic standards regarding the types of functions and the proper manner of their reservation and utilization.

While no policy statement can possibly address the appropriateness of every type of request, common sense is the best guide. We ask that individuals or groups requesting facilities usage comply with the specified protocols and understand that the Parish Team (the Pastor and Staff) is responsible to all parishioners as well as to the Archdiocese for these valuable parish resources.

We appreciate your cooperation.
