The Parish Centre is located left of St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, and has been a place for Parish functions, celebrations, gatherings, and community member use.
Our Parish Centre currently houses the Youth Options School through the Upper Grand District School Board Monday – Thursday. Information about the school can be found here: https://www.ugdsb.ca/ecpp/
Our Parish Centre is open for use to members of our parish community, and can be used for fellowship, celebrations, family gatherings, funeral luncheons, and other Church/Parish events. We have 1 classroom/meeting room, a full kitchen, hall/gym, and washrooms (including wheelchair access, with a change table & recliner). You are welcome to book, pending approval, on week days after 4pm, and on weekends. (see pictures below). There is an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) on site just inside the front entrance.
Any events or functions must be booked through the Parish Office with enough time to ensure that all proper documentation is obtained. Upon booking, we must receive your confirmed payment of liability insurance for $2,000,000.00, liquor license (if applicable), and a signed Terms of Use Agreement. A donation for use is also appreciated and is $20.00/ hour up to 4 hours, or $120.00/Full Day (must include set up and clean up time).
Insurance can be obtained through your own personal insurance provider, or can be purchased through the Diocese of Hamilton through Gallagher Insurance. The following is the link to purchase insurance through the Diocese of Hamilton:

The following form must be filled out and either mailed or emailed to the Parish Office. Bookings are not guaranteed on your specific date until confirmed and verified by the Parish Office.
Once your Parish Centre Terms of Use form is confirmed and signed by the parish office, and we have obtained your insurance and/or liquor license, and your donation to the Parish, we will arrange a time for a key to be received so you may access the Parish Centre on your events date.
Any questions, or inquires, can always be made to the Parish office. We thank you for your interest, and will get back to you as soon as possible.
