About Us
Who we are
Welcome to our parish website!
If you are looking for a parish where the Catholic Faith is solid, and the heart of our people is warm and generous -- look no further than Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church.
We are a parish of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Erie Pennsylvania, located in the small college town of Edinboro Pennsylvania. We strive live each day in fidelity to our triune God: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit. We embrace Jesus as the Christ as the Lord of our Lives. We firmly embrace the Catholic Church's official teachings on the Holy Scriptures, the Sacraments, and the Traditions of the Church as illustrated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Our Mission is the mission of Jesus Christ: To follow the will of the Heavenly Father with the blessing of the Holy Spirit.
We have been an active presence in the Edinboro PA community as well as on the campus of PennWest - Edinboro University since we were established as a Mission of St. Anthony of Padua parish in 1950. We received our canonical status as a parish of the Diocese of Erie in 1953. Ours is a fascinating story of deep faith and hard work for over 70 years!
