Facility Request Information

Facility Request Procedures

The facilities at SFA can be reserved for use by parish organizations for events and meetings. Parish facilities are not available on holidays and Holy Days of Obligation when the parish and/or school offices are closed unless arrangements are made in advance for keys and access. Misuse of terms and conditions will result in the forfeiture of future use of the facilities.

To reserve meeting space, first please check the parish calendar to see if another event is already scheduled for the same day. If the space seems to be available, complete the Facility Request Form and email it to parishoffice@sfastl.org or drop it off at the Rectory Office. NOTE: THE PUBLIC CALENDAR MAY NOT REFLECT ALL AVAILABILITY.

Should a scheduling conflict arise, we use the following Priority to Allocate Space:

  1. Sacramental, Pastoral, and Parish Events

  2. Parish Elementary School & PSR Events

  3. Athletic Events

  4. Other events as allowed with Pastor’s approval

Blackout Dates

Certain dates each year are “blacked out” on the calendar, which means there will be no other activities held on campus during that designated period of time (either a span of hours or an entire day). For example, Parish Picnic, First Communions, Holy Days of Obligation, Confirmations, etc. The Pastor will determine such dates/times.

General Procedures

  • Please cover any tables if you plan on using markers, paint, glue or glitter.

  • If moving tables, use 2 people to carry them. Please DO NOT drag the tables or chairs. It breaks the legs and scratches the floor.
