Welcome to Our Lady of Consolation Parish

Opened as an Italian personal parish, Our Lady of Consolation is proud to be serving the community of Tacony in Philadelphia for 100 years and counting. Our parish has a plethora of ministries that appeal to just about everyone. We are certain that one or more parish ministries will touch speak to your heart.

The Meaning of Ordinary Time

The Christmas Season and the Easter Season highlight the central mysteries of the Paschal Mystery, namely, the incarnation, death on the cross, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. The Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time, on the other hand, take us through the life of Christ. This is the time of conversion. This is living the life of Christ.

Ordinary Time is a time for growth and maturation, a time in which the mystery of Christ is called to penetrate ever more deeply into history until all things are finally caught up in Christ. The goal, toward which all of history is directed, is represented by the final Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

Convent / Elevator Fundraiser Campaign

Our parish continues its campaign to restore the convent building. In the chapel of the convent, there will be a Tree of Life commemorative plaque. You can purchase a gold leaf for $1,000 and a silver leaf for $500. If you don’t want to purchase a leaf for yourself, how about remembering a loved one with an engraved leaf? Please consider donating in this way to help make our Tree of Life blossom and grow as a lasting witness as part of the OLC parish family. The efforts of our parish campaign are the seeds; however, making the tree grow depends on the generosity of your donations. Please call the Rectory at 215-333-0442 to arrange for your donation.

Weekly Devotion to the Holy Rosary

Please join us each Wednesday evening at 6:30pm in the church to pray the Holy Rosary and grow closer to our Lord. That is the single most important reason we should pray the Holy Rosary. Registration is not required. All are welcome!
