Party & Meeting Rentals

Host your next meeting, party, or retreat at the Shrine.

Floral Centerpieces

Located in Historic Florissant, MO, the School House was built in 1888 as the parish school.  Today, this charming building has been restored to host your next party, shower, meeting or retreat.  

Upon entering, you are greeted with the original wood-carved staircase in the foyer.  Once in the space, soaring 12 foot-ceiling and large windows fill this bright cheery room.  The space has been restored and updated, including ADA restrooms, but the original woodwork and chalkboards are still in place.  

We continue to upgrade amenities to the space. In 2023, we upgraded the HVAC, along with new flooring, new lights, fresh paint, and round tables. 

This multi-purpose room can serve up to 100 people for a catered dinner and over 200 for cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.  The rental includes tables and chairs, along with a kitchenette and serving counter.  

No minimum food purchase is required.  Meals, snacks, and drinks are up to the renter to bring in.
