The Facility Usage/Indemnity Agreement must be used when non-parish/school sponsored or affiliated Groups use parish/school facilities on a short-term basis such as one day or a week.

The Facility Usage/Indemnity Agreement requires the facility user to provide the parish/school with a certificate of insurance documenting general liability coverage in the amount of $1,000,000 per occurrence. This certificate of insurance must name St. Pius X Parish and the Diocese of Green Bay as an additional insured. It is not adequate to obtain a certificate of insurance, which it only names the parish/school as a “certificate holder.”

In the event of an insurance claim involving a potential non-parish/school sponsored activity, the following questions would be asked to further determine if a group was parish/school sponsored and eligible for insurance coverage:

1. Did the parish/school have full control over the group or function?

2. Did any costs or fees associated with the function flow through parish/school accounts?

3. Was the function or group open to all parish/school members?

4. Was the purpose of the function or group to facilitate learning, raise revenue for the parish or provide a social service on behalf of the parish/school?

5. Was the teacher or leader of the group a parish/school volunteer or employee?

​​​​​​​In general, a group, which does not meet the definition of an affiliated organization or is unable to answer the above five questions in the affirmative would not be parish/school sponsored. Accordingly, that group must sign the Facility Usage/Indemnity Agreement and supply the parish/school with the necessary insurance documentation.

1. Girl Scouts, Knights of Columbus, American Legion or other similar organizations that use or rent parish facilities for meetings or fundraisers.

2. AAU sport teams or non-parish/school sponsored sport classes/clinics.

3. Any other organization, municipality or county organization that uses parish/school facilities for a meeting or function that is non-parish/school sponsored.

4. Parishioner and non-parishioner families that rent or use parish/ school facilities for wedding receptions, family reunions, anniversary parties or other similar activities.
