Our Lady of the Lake Parish

This year, it's all about the heart

This year’s funds will be used to purchase additional Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for the Parish and School Campus, along with other projects that help keep everyone healthy and safe.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cases each year, according to the American Heart Association. Each year, it also strikes about 7,000 children and teens.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use device that can help save lives during sudden cardiac arrest. When used within the first few minutes, an AED can dramatically increase the chance of survival.

Currently, there are two AEDs on our Parish and School Campus—one in the Church Worship Area and another on the main floor of the school. A key goal this year is to ensure that an AED can be reached and deployed quickly from anywhere on the Our Lady of the Lake Parish and School Campus in the event of a cardiac emergency, at least three additional AEDs.

With more AEDs, we can better protect our staff, parishioners, and students—because every minute counts when it comes to the heart.

This year, we are grateful to announce our Matching Gift sponsors, whose generosity will amplify the impact of every donation.

Who We Are

Here at OLL, we are a community and we support our community -- and both are so important.  

It is wonderful to have a faith community that's like a large family, there for all our important life moments. We come together to help our children learn and grow in faith, to tend to each other through illness, births, weddings, and so much more.  But we also go out into our larger community, to care for our friends and neighbors in need, through service, stewardship, caring, and commitment.  

Whether it's our music ministry visiting the senior home, our school after-care making cards for the homebound, a hunger ministry, or the National Day of Prayer - there are countless ways our parish embraces our community every day.
