Parish Feast Day Celebration Becoming a New Tradition
For several years, Our Lady of the Lake has celebrated their feast day on September 5 with a procession from the lake to the church. Parishioners begin with a prayer service on the beach, and play music and sing as they walk with the statue of Mary back to the church for another prayer service and reception in the church hall. The event has quickly become a cherished tradition of the recently merged parish, and each year it has grown. This year, there was extra time to enjoy community with hot dogs on the beach beforehand. And more families than ever made room in their Friday evening plans to be together for the procession with their neighbors and friends - and of course everyone wants to stay for ice cream afterwards! A wonderful new tradition is taking shape as this feast day celebration grows.
