1.
Are there restrictions on which groups / individuals may reserve
the facility?
Yes.
The Pastoral Centers are the property of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston
and as such are to primarily meet the pastoral and educational needs
of the Bishop and the Diocese. Recognizing that this is the primary
focus of the Pastoral Centers, we do offer available accommodations
to tax-exempt / non-profit organizations who can provide us with
their Federal ID number upon making a reservation. Preference for
reserving dates is made with the following schema in mind:
·
Diocesan Use
· Parish and Parish Affiliated Groups and Organizations
· Other Dioceses and Religious Communities
· Ecumenical Use
· Community & Service Organizations
