St. Mary On The Lake
Our parish is small and has a Pastoral Coordinator and a Sacramental Minister who celebrates liturgy with us on weekends. We provide Faith Formation in various ways.

On Sundays our children Pre K thru Grade 5 have Sunday Gospel lessons during Liturgy of the Word.

After Liturgy, Family Faith Formation meets which focuses on Scripture, Sacraments, and Seasonal themes.

On the third Sunday of the Month we have a wonderful breakfast, an opportunity to meet and share with members of our faith community.
