St. Patrick Hall
Policies and Procedures
The first priority for the St. Patrick Hall and meeting rooms is always parish meetings and functions. Hall rental is available only to registered parishioners of St. Michael Parish and always subject to scheduled parish events. No rental will be allowed when there is any type of liturgy or service (such as a wedding) in the main worship space of the Church. Because the Hall is a part of the Church building and directly connected to the main worship space, it is not available for weddings or Quinceañera receptions. Rentals must be scheduled through the Parish Executive Secretary, Judi Patzelt at 219 322-4505 ext. 8220

The hall is set-up in the normal configuration for parish functions. The renter(s) may position the tables as needed for their function. In the case of a catered event, the room set-up is the responsibility of the caterer. It is the responsibility of the renter(s), or the caterer to return all tables to the original set-up as well as to return the space to the same cleanliness as prior to the event. No food, beverage or trash is to be left out in the open, on tables or anywhere in the rental space. Trash is to be bagged, tied and left in the trash receptacles for removal by parish maintenance staff or by the caterer at catered functions.
