ABOUT US
Our Lady of the Lake Parish is a Roman Catholic Community called to faith, love and service. We proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Celebrate the Eucharist, and serve by fostering Gospel values that promote the dignity of the human person, the importance of the family, and the common good of all.
OUR HISTORY
Our parish formally began on October 12, 1890, with the dedication of Sacred Heart Catholic Church at First and E Streets. That building, which accommodated 50 people, still stands today at the original site. Sacred Heart School opened in September of 1938 with three teachers. At about the same time, and with great foresight, the parish acquired the present property to accommodate future growth.
