Costs
Explanation of costs:
  • Rent. This is the fee you pay to use the facility. The non-parishioner rate is $200 per hour. You will be charged for the entire time of your reservation, which includes set up prior to your event and clean up after your event. However, the total rent will not exceed $600.
  • Cleaning. This is the cost to have the facility cleaned after your use. Non-parishioners must pay this fee. Parishioners must make a deposit of this amount, and will forfeit the deposit if the facility is not adequately cleaned after the event.
  • Damage Deposit. You are responsible for any damage caused by anyone in your party. Your damage deposit will be used to cover these damages. If damages exceed your deposit, you will be charged the appropriate additional amount. Your damage deposit will be returned to you if there are no damages.
  • Setup / reset. This is the fee to have tables and chairs setup in the manner in which you desire, and to have them taken down. All renters must pay this fee.
  • Key. If we issue a key, you must pay a $25 deposit which will be refunded to you upon return of the key.

  • ALL DEPOSITS must be received one week prior to rental date. If deposits are not received, your reservation will be cancelled. Your damage deposit and cleaning deposit will be returned to you within two weeks after your rental date if the facility does not require extra cleaning and/or has not sustain damage.

Care and Responsibility. All renters are expected to:

  • Respond immediately and courteously to any requests made by your rental monitor.

  • Smoking anywhere inside the building.
  • Alcohol consumption anywhere inside or outside on the St. Charles campus. (Exception granted with appropriate liquor permit and insurance waiver—applies only to inside the gym. Alcohol consumption is NEVER permitted in the parking lot.)
