Great parish; very friendly; the Pastor and the Deacons are so outgoing and wonderful. I love the Parish dog named "Lady" who greets everyone at Mass on Sunday. This parish is one of the best in the Columbia area. I was turned away for the baptism of my child at Saint Joseph's parish in downtown Columbia by some old lady secretary named Mary Kay but found a wonderful welcome at Our Lady of the Lake. This is what it means to be Church here at Our Lady of the Lake! 5 stars!
