Getting ready to sing again...Thank you to Kay Hessemer who has made special masks for our entire choir.
"I am and a lifelong seamstress. To date I have made nearly 120 singers masks, and Our Lady of the Lake is my best customer so far! It has been a labor of love to create these masks. As a chorister myself (St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral Choir), I appreciate the importance of singing and am honored to engage in a task that permits us all to make music again. One who sings, prays twice!"

OLL, We Celebrate You!
National Hispanic Heritage Month
|
|
Each year, our nation sets aside September 15 to October 15, to pay tribute to the generations of Hispanic and Latinx Americans who have positively influenced and enriched our nation and society. During this National Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor our Hispanic and Latinx parishioners and thank you for all the ways you build up our OLL community.
"One way I celebrate my Hispanic Heritage is by celebrating Epiphany with our Puerto Rican tradition of Three Kings Day. We build the hill of Bethlemen with mini houses and figures topped with a creche that had been my parents. We leave shoe boxes for the three kings filled with grass for their camels hoping to find a few gifts from them in the morning. As my kids started school at OLL, my mom and I were so excited to be able to share this tradition the Kindergarten classroom."
-Liz Jackman
If you would like to share how you celebrate your Hispanic heritage, please send your pictures and/or short story to Liz Jackman

On September 30th, our PreSchool - 8th graders will be participating in our annual Fun Run. This year we are hoping to get Leo the Lion, to the treasure of $40,000. Our "treasure" this year will be used to support our general operating budget, purchase family t-shirts for Grades Pre-K – 8th and enrich the Art and Music Program, which includes: new paper cutter, expansion of the art library, and more percussion instruments! Donate today to help us reach our treasure!
