Please pick up REQUIRED FORMS in the Atrium of the Parish Life Center or call the Parish Office at 704-375-4339 to stop in and pick them up. Every Sunday following this first meeting there will be Class at OLC (location TBD) at 10:00 am each Sunday. There is a required workshop for all candidates on August 28, 2021 at 10:00 am in our "actual Church". Confirmation Mass is Wednesday, September 29th at 6:00 pm.

It is a generally accepted belief that God, because He is a Spirit, cannot be seen by people.  Yet, one of the Doctors of our Church says that because God cannot be seen, He allows Himself to be seen, and through that sight, He gives life.  Is this a contradiction?  Can you see God?  Are you dead without seeing Him?  To answer these questions, the Parish is having a series of mini-workshops/retreats on August 7, 14, 21 from 10-12 and August 28th time TBD. Registration is open and you can register on our website in the News & Events Tab, in the Atrium of the Parish Life Center or call the Parish Office. We hope you can join us!

THE PARISH OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, JULY 5TH IN OBSERVANCE OF INDEPENDENCE DAY.

The Covid-19 Testing will not take place in the month of July due to the Holidays but will return the first Monday of August at Our Lady of Consolation.
