Our Lady of Consolation School

An Excellent Stewardship Option:
Our Lady of Consolation Education Foundation

We believe that it is vital to our church to provide religious education to everyone who desires it. The Our Lady of Consolation Education Foundation (OLCEF) makes this possible. It is designed to be supported by ALL who see the value of providing quality education for children and adults of Our Lady of Consolation. This allows us to make the programs available to those who cannot afford to contribute at this time, but may be in a better position to do so in the future when their financial position allows.

The foundation seeks to provide half the funding for all parish educational endeavors, including the Faith Formation program, RCIA, and Our Lady of Consolation School.

How YOU can contribute to the Foundation

Contributions can take the form of:

A one time monetary gift.
A pledge, payable in monthly or weekly installments. – pink envelopes are provided for your convenience. Automatic withdraw or credit cards are strongly encouraged.
Matching funds obtained from your employer. We receive matching funds from many local businesses. Check with your business to see if they provide this benefit.
A life insurance policy naming the foundation as beneficiary.
The designation of a portion of our estate to the Foundation.
A gift of appreciated property. (i.e. stocks)

A gift to OLCEF is an investment in the future for all of us. Adults and children who are better educated in their faith make better decisions and make better leaders.

The Foundation is a registered Not-For-Profit Corporation, and as such your gift is totally tax-deductible.
