ABOUT US
When Our Lady of the Cove parish was formed in 1960, it was a lakeshore mission church. Mass was celebrated in a quonset hut at a cove a few blocks from here. People could actually boat to church. When the current building was constructed in 1978, it consisted of the sanctuary, the chapel, a few offices, a small kitchen and parish hall, and a few classrooms downstairs. As the parish grew, so did this building.
How was all this possible? Through an abundance of prayers and the open hearts and great generosity of parishioners who have gone before us, faithful stewards of the gifts God gave them while they were on earth. It seems it has always been the nature of members of OLC to exemplify the meaning of sharing God's blessings. OLC is a warm faith community that not only looks out for itself, but for the surrounding community as well. Our parish continues to grow, along with the needs of our community. Here at Our Lady of the Cove we willing share our time, talent, and material good to benefit our parish and community. Thank you for visiting!
