Our Mission
We are people of God - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - as the parish of Our Lady of the Lakes, within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Youngstown, Ohio.
Through our baptism, we continue Christ's mission to further the kingdom of God through the human family. We share our living faith by proclaiming the Gospel in word and example. Together we celebrate Christ's presence in worship and sacraments.
In a spirit of justice, mercy, and love, we dedicate ourselves not only to minister to the people within the boundaries of our parish, but to the entire Youngstown Diocese and to the world community.
