In the Catholic News Herald’s July 12 cover story, “Reclaiming History,” celebrating Our Lady of Consolation Parish’s efforts to preserve a beloved decades-old school building, we are reminded of how God can make all things new. St. Margaret Mary Alacoque writes in her autobiography that Jesus said to her, “…I am the eternal memory of My Heavenly Father, by Whom nothing is forgotten, and before Whom the past and the future are as the present.” As they preserve the past for the present and the future, Our Lady of Consolation will be making their learning center new again.
