“The measure of love ​ is to love without measure.” 
St. Francis de Sales

Our Mother of Consolation Parish and School stand together in condemning racial injustice, and the systemic racism that continues to plague our society.

• ​We commit ourselves to ongoing dialogue, conversion, action, and prayer as we confront our own conscious & unconscious racial biases.
• We challenge our community to embrace the dignity of all people, created in the image and likeness of God.
• We offer our support to our black brothers and sisters, who have lived and experienced the pain of discrimination, prejudice, inequities, and racism. 

We invite our parish and school communities to join together in the coming days, weeks, months, and years as we work together to bring about the change our world so desperately needs.
