Parish Hall

The parish hall can easily accommodate groups of up to 140 people seated at tables or 180 people without tables. There is 2,000 square-feet of floor space: 35- by 56-feet, plus an alcove.    

The hall is named after the organizer of the Polish National Catholic Church: Prime Bishop Francis Hodur.    

The hall has a vinyl-tiled concrete floor, a mostly flat suspended ceiling, white Sheet-rocked walls, six large functional windows and a very large custom window within an alcove, all with vertical vinyl blinds. The hall may be heated or air-conditioned and it may be brightly lighted or completely darkened.    

The space can be easily arranged to accommodate a great variety of activities. There are 22 tables (8-ft. x 2.5-ft.) with folding legs, other tables and 180 folding metal chairs available. A portable lectern, microphone with ceiling speakers, easels, portable room dividers and some audio-visual equipment are all available for use.    

The entire building (including the rest rooms) is fully accessible to those who are physically challenged or disabled.    

The parish has a 60-space paved parking lot in the front of the building, which can be lighted. There is also a grassy area for the parking of another 40 cars available on the back lot of the property, which cannot be lighted.    

The kitchen is available for limited use and is a commercial kitchen licensed with the Stratford Health Department.
