With gratitude for the blessings of ministry and service here at our parish, I am sharing that I will be leaving my Deacon work at Our Lady of Consolation and begin a new assignment at St. Robert of Newminster beginning September 1, 2026.

Despite this change for me, my wife, Jean, and I are not moving away. We will remain living in the parish. Jean will continue her ministry work here at OLC. You may see me from time to time, as well.

I am deeply thankful for the kindness, encouragement, and support you have shown me during my time here. It has been a privilege to serve with you, pray with you, and walk with this faith community. I am especially grateful to Fr. Dominic for his friendship and support.

Please keep me in your prayers as I make this transition and know that I will continue to pray for this parish and all whom I have been blessed to serve.

Yours in Christ,

Deacon Jim Hessler

Please extend your thanksgiving and congratulations to Deacon Jim after Masses next weekend. We are so grateful for his many years of service to OLC!
