Church Admin Corner

Last week's topic touched on rental contracts. Insurance goes hand-in-hand with any discussion of rentals.

Liability insurance coverage is required for all individuals and groups using parish/diocesan property for anything other than a church purpose. This includes all external renters, private birthday parties hosted by parishioners, community gatherings, rehearsals, concerts/recitals, etc. (unless organized by the parish itself). It is recommended that a user’s liability insurance coverage be a minimum amount of $2 million.

Individuals and groups with their own insurance coverage should provide the parish with a certificate of insurance naming the parish as additionally insured. This is a typical request of insurance companies, so all insured users should be able to provide this.

Individuals or group rentals without their own insurance coverage, can purchase third-party insurance coverage through the diocesan insurance plan.
