Parish History
In 2018, St. Peter Church in Antioch and St. Bede Church in Ingleside were united as one parish and called Our Lady of The Lakes. In many ways, this is a reuniting of the churches since St. Bede was a mission of St. Peter from 1908 to 1928. It is good that these communities can go forward as one to face the future as a stronger and more vibrant parish under the patronage of Our Blessed Mother Mary.
