OUR LADY OF THE LAKE & ST. JAMES

Welcome to our faith communities.

In the 21st Century, the Lord is calling the whole church to the great work of 'new evangelization,' that is, of helping every Christian grow in the knowledge, understanding and love of their Catholic faith in order to propose and hand faith to others. As you become more acquainted with us, we hope that you will find an area in which to share time and talent with our parish family. Like any family, we function most efficiently when all our members involve themselves in parish life. One of the most important parts of the Catholic Church is the parish, because the parish impacts people's lives. It is in the parish setting that we receive the Body and Blood of Christ, listen to the Word of God proclaimed, find forgiveness of our sins in reconcilation, communal support, and ways to give life to our faith. The parish is a living, breathing entity, because in it, God interacts with His people. We hope that this will be your experience with Our Lady of the Lake and St. James in Maine, and that you will find warmth and hospitality in a spiritually and emotionally nourishing environment.

We welcome you to our Parish Family!
Sincerely, Fr. LeRoy Schik
