WELCOME.

The Our Lady of the Lakes parish was established in 2018 and includes two locations, one in Antioch and one in Ingleside. As one community, we are centered on the Eucharist and focused on sharing the Good News, educating the young, evangelization, and serving the poor and suffering in our community. We hope you will join us in this mission!

    Our ALEC ministry needs assistance with our seasonal decor at the St. Bede Campus Church on November 29th between 9:30am-6:30pm. Many hands make light work, please spare an hour or two to help cultivate the beauty of our space.
