Our Lady of  Good Counsel

Catholic Church

As of Friday, July 17, 2020, the City of Folly Beach has severely restricted parking on the island. Parking is not permitting on side streets or in the public rights of way until mid-September. However, parking staff members have been instructed by the Director of Public Safety to not ticket around Mass and Confession times. Please take every precaution when parking for Mass attendance.

Beginning the weekend of June 20-21, 2020, our weekend Mass schedule will be as follows and until further notice:

Saturday Vigil - 5:00pm
Sunday Masses -- 9:00am and 11:00am

Church capacity will be at 50% during this time period, which is approximately 100 people.

*The 6:30am Latin Mass is discontinued for the time being.

Confessions will be heard on Saturdays from 4:00-4:45pm and Sundays from 8:00-8:45am.

The Bishop will update the response to this ever-changing health crisis on The Catholic Miscellany and diocesan websites. The Bishop encourages us to pray, watch Mass on a computer or television, and gather our families to pray.
 

Our Lady of Good Counsel parish staff and the Diocese of Charleston consider the health and well-being of our people to be the highest priority.  We are following the directives of local, state and federal health authorities in establishing health and safety precautions especially during this difficult time. 

Bishop Robert E. Guglielmone provides this message for the faithful.  

To give honor and glory to God, by loving one another as He has commanded, and by reaching out with love and compassion to those in need.

MON-FRI:               The Church is open for prayer during the day. 
THURS:                  8:30 AM Christian Meditation in Father Kelly Hall

There are a limited number of parking spaces at the church and Father Kelly Hall. Please refrain from parking in the Post Office parking lot. When parking along the roadways, all four tires must be off the road.  Folly Beach Public Safety strictly enforces numerous parking rules.

COVID-19 update: The City of Folly Beach has restricted access to the island 24 hours per day.

Paulette Van Fleet will be glad to review any content concerns about our website.

Our parish still must meet its payroll, pay bills and all the other monthly operational expenses that come our way. To that end, please continue, and maybe increase, your online giving. If you do not have an online account because you typically give via the offertory basket, please set up an online account or mail your checks to the parish offices. Thank you for helping with this essential component of our parish's life.
