Any event that is NOT a diocesan sponsored event is required to provide insurance. Review the Event Checklist for your type of event. [PLEASE NOTE: a diocesan sponsored event, which is any gathering that is advertised and promoted by a diocesan parish or school (e.g., a dinner, festival, picnic, bazaar, race, youth car wash, movie night), does NOT need Renters’ Liability insurance.]
