What is Welcome?
Welcome is an incredible two-day experience for Catholic men and women of Our Lady of the Lake parish, 18 years and older, that will help you:
- Discover what’s missing in your life and what to do about it.
- Find clarity and purpose by reflecting on some of life’s biggest questions:
Who am I? What am I here for? What matters most? - Form meaningful relationships with people at our parish who will journey with you.
- Get a fresh perspective. Life is demanding and draining. Take a break from the everyday to recharge, experience life with newfound energy, and become a better-version-of-yourself.
