Welcome to Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Branson,
Missouri
On behalf of our parish
staff, our parish council and our parish family, welcome to Our
Lady of the Lake online!
We are a small Catholic
community that has an abundance of visitors for the weekend Masses.
We have a welcoming, warm community of people who pray and sing,
pray, praise, and thank the Lord in a participating manner. We have
a parish school of religion for all children and teens. Our adults
are invited to faith-experienced programs and events throughout the
year. Developing a lifestyle that reflects Christ requires a
lifetime of continual growth. You are invited to join us in personal
involvement as we travel the path of our faith journey. May we be
persistent in trying to do more than we are currently doing to
follow Christ's teachings. There are so many opportunities for our
ongoing conversion to Christ through parish projects and activities
in the full spectrum of Catholic Christian life. We need you to
respond by sharing your God-given gifts, empowered by the Holy
Spirit, with our parish family.
Please feel free to
browse and explore our parish web site. If you should need to
contact us for any reason, we are always ready and willing to assist
you in any way. May God bless you!
