2019 March for Life

Here it is! It’s time to think about the March for Life in January. I can’t believe another year has gone by but it has

We invite you to make plans to join us in 2019, as we gather with thousands of pro-lifers from across the country and March for Life on Friday, January 18, 2019.

The 46th annual March for Life is an excellent opportunity for pro-lifers to come together in Washington D.C. and take a united stand against the destructive national policy of abortion on demand.

There many options available so check them out

Hope to see you in January at the March for Life

Patrick Desbois comes to Grand Rapids to talk about what he has uncovered in other places throughout Europe with the help of 5,300 witnesses.

See You At The Pole

All families are invited to meet at Our Lady of Consolation (at the flagpole, near the school entrance) from 7:15am-7:45am on Wednesday, Sept. 26th, 2018 for “See You at the Pole”. This year’s theme is “Brokenness” & is based on Ephesians 3:14, “I fall on my knees before the father”.

See You at the Pole™, the global day of student prayer, began in 1990 as a grass roots movement with ten students praying at their school. Twenty years later, millions pray on their campuses on the fourth Wednesday in September. See You at the Pole™ is simply a prayer rally where students, parents, other family members, staff members, etc. meet at the school flagpole before school to lift up their friends, families, teachers, school, and nation to God.

Free donuts & juice will be served to all participants at the close of the event. This event is sponsored by Our Lady of Consolation Parish, Faith Formation & School. Please contact Amy Pereira at amy.olc@gmail.com with any questions.
