Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Our Parish Mission 

What is the mission of Our Lady of the Lake Parish?  That’s a question the Pastoral Council wrestled with for several months as it attempted to whittle down an assortment of potential mission statements into something short and succinct that best reflects what our parish is all about.  Keeping with the parish’s general themes of Reach In, Reach Up and Reach Out, the Pastoral Council settled on three tenets of Christ’s teachings that, in just a few words, summarize how we should live our lives: Love God, Love Others, Make Disciples of Jesus Christ.


Please be extra careful this weekend - especially in the parking lot - when you are coming to parish. Mass will never be cancelled due to weather conditions but no one should put themselves or their family at risk to attend Mass or fulfill a liturgical assignment. When travel is not safe, all are excused from the obligation to attend Mass.  Please visit our  Weather Policy Page  if you have questions about canceled activities and Mass attendance. 

PARENTS: The LIFE KIDS program is cancelled for THIS Sunday.
The  Rite of Enrollmenfor First Communicants WILL take place at the 9 AM Mass.
