Is there a “cry room” for children during Mass?
No. We believe the way we welcome children in church directly affects the way they respond to the Church, to God and to one another.  Relax. God put the wiggle in children. Don’t feel like you have to suppress it in God’s house. The presence of children is a gift to the Church and a reminder that our community is growing.  If you have to leave with your child, feel free to do so, but come back! As Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me.”
 
Is there a recommend stipend for Mass intentions?
There is no charge for Mass Intentions. A small stipend of $10.00 would be very much appreciated. You may mail your stipend to the office or place it in the next Sunday’s offering.  Envelopes are available in the back of the church or you may contact the Parish Office.
 
How do I register to become a member of OLGC?  
Parihioner registration forms are located in the back of the church, or you may contact the Parish Office. 

Are Sunday school classes offered or do students attend a local Catholic school?
Elementary school age children (K-4 through 8^thgrades) may be enrolled in a Catholic School such as Nativity School on James Island or receive religious education instruction at the Parish School of Religion.
 
Can I make an offertory donation to the parish once a year, rather than every week?
OLGC is grateful for all contributions to support the upkeep of the buildings, charitable work, and our staff.  About 30% of our parishioners contribute through the Online Giving link on this website.  You may choose the amount, frequency (weekly, monthly or one time) of your donation.
 
Does one have to be a member of the church to get married here?
Engaged couples who wish to be married at Our Lady of Good Counsel should contact the parish office at least six months prior to the date. 
 
If I join the church I want to get involved.  How can I find out more about the opportunities available?
Every member of OLGC is encouraged to participate in the life of the parish.  To learn more about the opportunities, please explore the Parish Life section of this website.
