Check out Louis S. Hehman, OLL's Director of Music's Solo Piano Recital performed this past Sunday, April 29, 2018 by going to the Parish's Facebook and pick "Videos."  It was incredible!   /oll-facebook

A Message from
the Most Rev. Robert E. Guglielmone,
Bishop for the Diocese of Charleston

While we mourn those who have lost their lives in this natural disaster, we must also join in prayer and action as a Catholic community. As we saw in last Sunday's reading from St. James, "If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,' but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also, faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead."   Let us show our faith by sharing what we can. 

A Special Collection to assist those affected by Hurricane Florence in North and South Carolina has been authorized. (The collection here at Our Lady of the Lake will take place next weekend, September 29-30, 2018.)  Please mark your Checks and Envelopes (for cash) for “Hurricane Relief.” There will be our usual one collection at the Offertory so please follow these instructions to make sure your donations go to the Hurricane Relief Fund which will be designated for Catholic Charities’ “Aid to Hurricane Florence Victims.”

Common Questions and Answers

Unfortunately, Hurricane Florence interrupted the plans for the first-ever ACTS Men's Retreat at OLL last weekend, but luckily we were able to get the last weekend open at Camp Kinard for this year to reschedule the ACTS Men's Retreat for the weekend of December 6th-9th. Fortunately, this date worked on the church calendar as well as for the ACTS Men's Retreat Team coming from Texas. The retreat team is also bringing their own priest so the men on the retreat will have Mass for First Friday and the Holy Day of Obligation (Immactulate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary) on Saturday that weekend!

Hope all men (21 years and older) will be able to attend this truly AWESOME Retreat (ask any of the women who attended the ACTS Women's Retreat this past August).
