During the past few weeks we have noticed an uptick in Mass attendance at Our Lady of the Lake. The increase is coming very close to the capacity allowed by the COVID-19 guidelines from the State of Massachusetts. To accommodate this increase, effective this weekend, September 26th & 27th, the new Mass Schedule at Our Lady of the Lake will be as follows: Saturday, 5pm, Sunday, 8am, 10:30am (note the change from 10am to 10:30am) and 6pm. The 10:30am Mass is to accommodate the Religious Education Program’s sacramental preparation for Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Please continue to pray that this pandemic will come to a timely end.
Fall in New England always brings unbelievable beauty and unbelievable weather! With that in mind, we will keep the Sunday Mass at 6pm outdoors until the end of the month and then go week to week, depending on the weather, but by the first full weekend in November, we will have mass indoors.

Beginning Sunday, June 21, we will begin celebrating the 6pm Mass, weather permitting, in the parish parking lot. We will continue to observe all the Social Distancing Protocols of the moment, but being six feet apart, you may feel safer and more comfortable outside. You will need to bring your own chair. If you come as a family living in the same home, you may all sit together. If you are here on your own, we’ll make sure you are six feet apart from your nearest neighbor. The Eucharist will be distributed the same way as the ushers spray your hand with sanitizer, wearing your mask you can receive communion as you lift it over your mouth and then return to your seat. We’ll be doing this throughout the summer as long as the weather is good. Please click the link above to read Father Michael's full message.
As you are aware, the Governor has given permission for houses of worship to begin services with no more than a 40% seating capacity. That is wonderful news, indeed!

Please click the link above to review all of the important details for times & attendance before leaving home to attend Mass.
To celebrate Mother’s Day this year, we will have a Parade of Roses for Mother’s Day!

Please stay in your vehicle, enjoy a little fresh air from your ride to Our Lady of the Lake and know how much we love and miss all our Moms, those who are with us, those who are at the great table in the Kingdom of Heaven and all those who have been “Mother” to us in our lives. See you then!
