Liturgical - Mr. Tony Barnett
 
 Altar Servers - Mr. Sam Cooper
 The primary role of the altar server is to assist the priest/celebrant in the celebration of all liturgies during the mass.  This is achieved through specific actions and setting an example for the congregation by actively participating in the liturgies (hymns, responses, etc.).  An underlying goal of this ministry is to expose young men and women to the religious life and ultimately serve as a catalyst for the promotion of religious life. Altar Servers serve God on his altar.

 The mission of the Our Lady of Consolation RCIA process is to explore and recognize God’s action and presence in our lives, in scripture and in the life, faith and worship of the church.  RCIA explore the meaning of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection leading to a personal and communal relationship with the living God encountered in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.
RCIA is also the process developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to Catholicism who are above the age of adult majority. Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs and practices.

 Rosary Society- Shirley Fowler
 The primary purpose of the rosary Society is to praise and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary and to secure her patronage by the recitation of the Rosary.  We are an organization of women and men from all ages following Mary’s example of service aiming to assist our church and outreach programs.
