Parish Survey
Our Lady of Consolation will be participating in an international parish survey about discipleship conducted
by the Catholic Leadership Institute!
Please help us participate by completing a 10-15 minute survey online. The survey can be accessed online
at www.disciplemakerindex.com or in paper form at the parish. The survey will only be available from
Monday, February 5 to Monday, March 5 and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and
enable you to provide feedback on what efforts the parish is doing to help you grow.
All responses will be confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as
whole.
We are trying to get the highest response rate possible. This information will be invaluable to the church and
our various ministries as we plan ahead and try to be the best disciples we can be. We will receive the results
this spring/summer at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish.
If you don’t use the internet – There will be paper copies available at the back of each worship site or by
contacting the rectory at 610-857-3510.
Thank you for helping with this important project!

Financial Peace University- Update!
The Stewardship Committee would like to provide
an update regarding Financial Peace University
(FPU) right here at Our Lady of Consolation. Ac-
cording to Dave Ramsey, we all need a plan for our
money. Financial Peace University (FPU) is that
plan!
It teaches God's ways of handling money. Through
video teaching, class discussions and interactive
small group activities, FPU presents biblical, practi-
cal steps to get from where you are to where you've
dreamed you could be.
This plan will show you how to get rid of debt,
manage your money, spend and save wisely, and
much more! We will offer FPU again starting
Sunday, February 11 from 9:00am-10:55am and will
run for 8 sessions. We expect another great turnout.
Please take the next step and become a member of
the next FPU class.
