Madeleine Room

rev. 11/15/22

Use of Madeleine Room

  1. The use of the Madeleine Room (Event) is only for those connected with the Marianist Family in some way (User) (i.e. vowed religious Marianist, Marianist school, Marianist parish, Lay Marianist group, etc.).

  2. The Event must either be a vowed religious (SM or FMI) activity OR a program or meeting sponsored by a Marianist-connected entity. In the latter condition, the Event must be for spiritual, formation, and/or educational purposes. Layperson social occasions such as birthdays, wedding receptions, anniversaries, etc. do not qualify. Meetings of groups such as government entities and community service organizations do not qualify.

  3. Determination of Marianist connection and appropriateness of the Event is ultimately up to the Chair of the Mount St. John Campus Council. If the Chair of the Mount St. John Campus Council is not available, the Director of Mount Saint John Facilities will cover this responsibility.

  4. No one ministry or group may set up a “standing” use of the Madeleine Room.

  5. The space is only to be scheduled for daytime/early evening use. No overnight use is permitted, e.g. “lock-ins” for youth groups.

  6. Alcohol use is permitted only if 1) the general public is not invited to the event, 2) alcohol is not sold or used as a fundraiser, and 3) the lessee falls under the Marianist Province of the U.S. insurance policy.

Priority of Use

  1. Priority of room usage is for SM or FMI Events. Therefore, requests by other Marianist-connected groups can only be reserved a maximum of 6 months before the Event.

  2. Outside of 6 months, an event can be put on a waiting list by registering it on the reservation web site (Section 9).

  3. Should an SM or FMI event require the use of the Madeleine Room (such as a funeral) and another group has already reserved the space for that time period, the Chair of the Mount St. John Campus Council will discuss possible alternatives with the parties involved.

This coverage shall be considered primary insurance and any other coverage available to the Marianist Province of the United States shall be considered excess. The insurance required is in addition to and separate from other obligations contained in the agreement.

  • User agrees to save and hold harmless, indemnify and defend the Marianist Province of the United States from any and all liability including liability arising out of negligence, for bodily injury, including death to any person or for any damage to property, resulting from, or arising out of, the User’s use of the premises.
