Prayer Ministries

Adoration Chapel

Our Lady of the Lake’s chapel is a 24 hour perpetual chapel. The chapel was originally a shrine built outside the church in 1922 then enclosed in 1991 when it became a perpetual chapel. It provides the opportunity for prayer and meditation in the quiet of the small sanctuary. Volunteers staff the chapel.
