Love One Another Capital Campaign 2021


Our Lady of the Lakes, Random Lake


Our Parish Roots:

The Catholic roots in our community trace back to the mid-1800s, at which time a large number of Catholic families had settled in and around the region. From those hard-working families, the congregation of Our Lady of the Lakes was formed on July 1, 1998. It was formed by the merger of St. Patrick, Adell, St. Mary, Cascade, St. Nicholas, Dacada, and St. Mary, Random Lake.

Currently the main worship site is St. Mary Chapel, Random Lake. The first church built was a small and unpretentious frame structure, yet it admirably fulfilled the needs of the original parishioners belonging to the congregation at the time.


We are blessed to have such a beautiful chapel, which would not exist without the hard work, dedication, and support of many of the original families whose descendants still care for St. Mary’s Chapel to this day. We welcome all newcomers to our parish and continue to thrive as we live out the Gospel.

  WORSHIP SITE IMPROVEMENTS - $130,187

We have been blessed with wonderful buildings where we can come together as a parish family to celebrate the Eucharist, pray, and continue to do God’s Work in Random Lake. In order to continue to be good stewards of our buildings, and care for our house of worship, there are many pressing capital projects that need to be completed. These improvements include: upgrading our current audio system to make Mass more accessible to all parishioners, installing new entrance doors, tuck pointing, masonry repair to the sacristy stairs, maintaining our parking lots, completing repairs, and making structural improvements to the office building, Parish Center, and Community Room with more energy-efficient heating and cooling options.

  ST. MARY'S CHAPEL ROOF - $85,000

Recently, a new roof was installed at St. Mary’s Chapel. In order to address this urgent need, our parish had to take out a loan to complete the construction. A portion of the funds raised will be used to pay off the loan and set our parish up for a stable financial future.

  STRENGTHEN MINISTRIES - $75,000

In order to remain a bright, vibrant, and growing parish, we also need additional funding that goes beyond our operating expenses to financially support our ministries. This portion of the funds will be reserved for supporting important initatives in the areas of Faith Formation, Outreach programs, and Divine Savior Catholic School. We will also focus on improving our formation resources and upgrading technology infrastructure throughout the buildings to allow for expanded outreach opportunities.
