GYM RENTALS Knowing that the Msgr. Glynn building would be a great spot to host parties for special occasions, we have often been asked if we can rent the gym. The problem is that the Archdiocese requires a five mil-lion dollar insurance policy for any group that is looking to rent the gym, unless they are one of our Parish groups, or another Church group. So, unfor-tunately we can no longer rent the gym for personal parties or occasions.
