This week our nation takes pause to continue to tradition of giving thanks and praise to God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. It is a fundamental part of our Catholic faith to acknowledge that all the gifts that we receive here on earth flow to us through the grace of our loving Father. In honor of this sacred day, our parish office will close at 4:00pm on Wednesday, 11/27 and reopen at 9:00am on Monday, 12/2. Please note that there will be only one Mass on Thanksgiving Day and that will take place at 9:00am. On Friday, Masses will follow the regular schedule of 7:00am and 12 noon. On behalf of Fr. Jerome and all the staff here at Our Lady of the Lake, I wish you a blessed and safe holiday time as you give thanks to God for His love endures forever!
