Community Outreach

Our Lady of Consolation Church is a member of the Parkesburg Churches Community Outreach (PCCO), a coalition of 11 Parkesburg area churches that provide multi-faceted social assistance and referrals to individuals and families living within the Octorara Area School District. PCCO was formed in 2003 to provide coordinated responses to requests received by the individual member churches: Church of the Ascension, Church of the Open Bible, Highland Baptist, Our Lady of Consolation (including St Malachi), Parkesburg Baptist, Parkesburg Community, Parkesburg Mennonite, Parkesburg Methodist, Parkesburg Presbyterian, Penningtonville Presbyterian and Upper Octorara Presbyterian. 

PCCO members :
  • Volunteer at the Octorara Area Food Cupboard (OAFC) to provide clients with food donated by grocery stores, organizations and individuals. 
  • Maintain an Emergency Food Cupboard for needs that arise when the OAFC is not open. 
  • Volunteer at Righteous Clothing, a thrift store that sells donated used clothing, shoes, and small household items at reduced prices. 
  • Operate a furniture ministry that collects and then redistributes donated used furniture (beds, dressers, tables, chairs, bookcases, sofas) and appliances (refrigerator, washers, dryers).
  • Assist with housing and utility needs. 
  • Work with people in identifying county and state programs that are available to them. 
  • Sponsor the Parkesburg Point, a Christian youth center on Main Street that addresses the spiritual, emotional, physical and academic needs of the young in our community

Volunteers and financial contributions are always welcomed and appreciated to help meet the ever growing needs of many in our community. For more information or to volunteer, please call the PCCO hotline (610) 568-5835. 

Good Samaritan

Knights of Columbus

The Knights are one of the oldest Catholic fraternal organizations founded in the United States.   OLC is fortunate to have Council 9727 of the Knights right here in our own parish.  Their untiring dedication to helping parishioners, non-parishioners, veterans, and handicapped people is true demonstration of living the love of Jesus Christ. 

Meetings are held the second Monday of each month at 7:15 PM in the OLC Church basement meeting room.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Prayer Shawls are knitted or crocheted by members of this ministry while offering prayers and blessings for the recipient. Intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. When the shawl is completed it is offered with prayer to the recipient. You don’t have to be  experienced in knitting or crocheting to join. We have a beginner pattern, or you can use one of your own.
