Pastor's Welcome

Welcome

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

“Pax et Bonum” — Peace and All Good!

A very warm and joyful welcome to the official website of Our Lady Consoler of the Afflicted Church. Whether you are a lifelong parishioner, a newcomer searching for a spiritual home, or someone simply seeking peace and solace in a restless world, we are truly blessed to have you here.

As a Capuchin Franciscan parish community, our heart is rooted in the simple, humble, and joyful spirit of St. Francis of Assisi. Our mission is clear and unwavering: Proclaiming Christ with Franciscan joy and bringing Mary’s motherly comfort to everyone, everywhere. We strive to be a vibrant family where faith is not just celebrated within the walls of our church, but lived out daily in our homes, streets, and workplaces.

Our parish is placed under the loving mantle of Our Lady Consoler of the Afflicted. In a world that often carries burdens of sorrow, loneliness, and hardship, Mary stands as a gentle mother offering Christ’s healing comfort, hope, and peace. Here, under her maternal care, you will find a sanctuary where every soul is welcomed, supported, and loved as a true brother and sister.

We invite you to explore our website to discover our Mass schedules, sacramental preparation, parish ministries, outreach activities, and upcoming events. More importantly, we invite you to join us in person—to pray with us at the Eucharistic table, share in our Franciscan fraternity, and journey together in holiness.

May Our Lady Consoler of the Afflicted wrap you in her maternal care, and may the Almighty Lord grant you His peace.

Yours fraternally in Christ and St. Francis,
Fr. Sandip Anton Koshav OFM Cap.
