Our Lady of the Lake Parish in Lake - Congregation of the ...

We believe that God calls us to live together as brothers,
sharing the gifts that we have received, supporting one another,
praying and working together for his glory. He has called us
to be a community which is a living sign of the Gospel values
of justice, truth and love.
We believe that God calls us to work together for the
resurrection of society, bringing his life and love to all,
through our personal witness, through the witness of our life
in community, and through our community apostolates,
primarily through parish work and teaching. This also requires
that we build and teach others to build, a Christian community
in which all can experience the hope, joy and peace of Christ’s
resurrection.
We believe that Mary is our model for all that we are called
to be and do as Resurrectionists.
Our Resurrectionist gift is a Vision of Hope!
Our CORE VALUES are the following:
1. God loves us.
2. God calls us to ongoing conversion.
3. God calls us to be a community.
4. God calls us to transform society.
5. Mary is our model.
We believe that God loves us unconditionally. Not matter
what we have done or said God continues to love us. This is
the fundamental principle of our lives. Because we realize that
God loves us unconditionally, we know that we need ongoing
conversion. We are sinners and saints. We need to change. We
need to seek forgiveness and to be forgiving others. God calls us
to be a community. We need to live, work, pray and play with
each other. The support and challenge of a community invites
us to be more Christ-centered. God calls us to resurrect society.
We give new life to others in our pastoral and educational
ministries. Mary is our model of all that we are called to be
and do. We also seek to be role models for others.
We invite you to share our Vision of Hope! Please reflect
on each of these core values in your own life. How has God
loved me unconditionally? Where do I need conversion in my
own life? What am I doing to build up community where I am?
Am I willing to resurrect society through my words and actions?
Is Mary a role model for me? Am I a role model for others?
Our MISSION is to resurrect society through our pastoral
and educational ministries.
