Welcome to Our Church!

Dear Our Lady of the Lake parishioners and visitors,

“Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.”
Romans 15:7

I would like to welcome you to Our Lady of the Lake website, a website that will introduce you to who we are as a parish. But this is just a website - to find out who we truly are, please come and journey with us through the year.

There are many opportunities to come together during the year and to experience God’s great love through sacraments, ministry, and fellowship. By God’s grace, we will strive to be God’s Family; loving, serving and witnessing.

Fr. Matthew Hoelscher

The Annual Diocesan Appeal is an invitation to all the faithful to participate in the mission of the Church and so help bring the love of Jesus beyond the scope of any individual parish.

We welcome you, whether you've been Catholic your whole life, are returning after time away, or are curious about the Catholic faith. Our greeters at the door are happy to help — and if you'd rather slip in quietly and just watch, that's perfectly fine too. We're glad you're considering Our Lady.
