Parishioners gathered on March 14 for a Liturgy Workshop focused on entering more deeply into the Mass. The session highlighted the importance of reverence, interior participation and understanding the meaning behind each part of the liturgy.
Parishioners at Our Lady of Consolation Church broke into applause Sunday at the joyful news that the parish and the Diocese of Charlotte have established a special partnership to invest more than $6.7 million to renovate and expand their church on Statesville Avenue.
We are inviting 12 adults to participate in the washing of the feet, reflecting Jesus’ love and humility at the Last Supper. We hope to welcome a diverse group of men and women of different ages and backgrounds. Please arrive no later than 6:40 pm.
Register here.
Join us this Good Friday for Mass as we remember Christ’s sacrifice and reflect on His love for us. All are welcome to come and spend this sacred time in prayer and worship.
