Holy Name Society

  


The Holy Name Society is open to all men of the parish. We meet on the second Sunday of the month in the Parish Activity Center after the 8:30 Mass. We have coffee and rolls before and during the meeting and we are finished by 10:30. Our annual dues are $2. Attend one of our meetings, see for yourself what we are about. Enjoy the camaraderie and, hopefully, you will decide to become an active participant.


Purpose of the Holy Name Society

To honor the name of God and to fulfill the petition of the Lord's Prayer through good example of words and deeds

To be a working society for the benefit of Our Lady of Consolation parish

To foster the observances of the promises contained in the Holy Name Pledge


We sponsor many events throughout the year. Some include:

-

 The Annual Mother's Day Breakfast
  All women of the parish, along with their daughters, are invited. It is most gratifying to see the many daughters who have married, moved out of the area and have daughters of their own, attend with their mothers.
- Semi Annual Outings
  All men of the parish are invited to local high school athletic events
- Cards and Prayers
  We send Get Well Cards and offer prayers for all ill and bereaved parishioners


Twice a year The Holy Name Society sends letters to parishioners to solicit support of our charitable activities. We make regular contributions to the following groups:

- Parish Religious Education
- Parish St. Vincent DePaul Society
- St. Joseph's Soup Kitchen
- Parish Youth Group
