The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God

This year, Our Lady of the Lake is embarking on a new journey to know Jesus, His Word, and our Faith by reading the Bible and Catechism in a year. This might seem like a large, overwhelming task because, after all, the Bible and Catechism are two very big books! However, when read daily in bite-sized sections, reading the Bible and Catechism only takes about 20 minutes. 

This Saturday and Sunday at Mass, A Daily Scripture and Catechism Reading Guide will be available to all. The Guide provides three sections of scripture and one section of the Catechism to read each day. For more information on this journey, click here.
