With a strong focus on hospitality, liturgy, faith formation, and outreach, our community is one where we hope you feel welcome and a part of our vision and mission. Join us as we together are called to
Love God. Love People. Make Disciples of Jesus Christ.
Message from the Pastor
Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church is committed to Loving God, Loving Others, and Making Disciples of Jesus Christ. As Roman Catholics, we seek to honor our faith tradition by authentically and creatively presenting it in our community of Lake Oswego, especially to Catholics who have become disconnected to the Church.
I invite you to get involved in an authentically Catholic community that is a warm and open environment where you and your family will feel welcomed and at home. You'll experience community and a relevant message that "isn't about rules, but about your relationship" with God.
Our parish community offers many ways to grow in our faith, enrich our spiritual lives, and serve the needs of one another. We also actively reach out beyond the walls of our parish community serviing those in need and fostering relationships with the most vulnerable in our city, region, and world.
Start by registering at our parish by the link below. Then check out our ministries and get involved. We look forward to walking with you.
Fr. John Kerns, Pastor
