- Ministries

These ministries promote and strengthen the parish community,
both socially and spiritually.

The MARTHA & MARY WOMEN’S MINISTRY is a group for women looking for spiritual and social activities. We listen to the Lord and serve Him, like Martha and Mary, through fellowship, guest speakers, service projects, social activities, and field trips. The ministry meets one evening a month and occasionally on a Saturday or Sunday during the day when activities dictate.

The TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIAL MEDIA ministry helps to support Our Lady of the Lake’s technology needs. This currently includes maintaining the web site, Flocknote, and other social media platforms, sign messaging, and other needs as they arise. We are looking for folks with skills in technology, graphic design, video production, and related areas to help use these modern tools for evangelization to share the wisdom of God and the truth of our faith with our parish community and all who are seeking an encounter with Christ.

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY By knitting or crocheting prayer shawls, our Prayer Shawl Ministry group reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, celebration and joy. The shawls are given to members and loved ones in our parish family. This group gathers on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 1:00 pm in the Parish Family Center. We also welcome shawls made at home. If you would like to learn how to crochet or knit, we will teach you.

JUNIOR HIGH & HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP Students get together with friends and make new friends one Friday night a month in the church hall. Our mission: To build Christian community by providing a place for kids to hang out, to have fun, play games, listen to music, watch movies, eat snacks, and meet new people. Each month they work on becoming more aware of whom Christ is calling us to be in the world, by sharing ideas and experiences of service, and to ask for God’s grace and guidance in their lives. Come and bring a friend!
