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!
