Sunday Mass at 9:00 a.m.
Our Lady of the Lake is a Catholic parish in the Diocese of Spokane, Washington. Our purpose is to celebrate our common faith in Jesus Christ, to stirve for unity, to seek reconciliation and to serve our fellow men and women. As full and active members of the Body of Christ, we live our lives in the freedom of the Gospel under the sign of the Cross, bearing witness in the wider world and within our own families. We draw nourishment from the sacramental life of the Church, especially through the weekly celebration of the Eucharist. With the grace of God we pray to discern the voice of the Spirit and acknowledge the face of Christ in all we meet.
Our church is located in a beautiful country setting approximately 20 miles northwest of the city of Spokane. Mass is held in Tum Tum from Sepember to June, and in Suncrest for the summer. Directions to both are on the contact page.

The month of May is dedicated to The Blessed Virgin Mary
The month of May is dedicated to The Blessed Virgin Mary. All but the last 4 days of the month fall within the liturgical season of Easter, which is represented by the liturgical color white — the color of light, a symbol of joy, purity and innocence (absolute or restored). The last four days of the month (beginning the Monday after Pentecost) are in Ordinary Time which is represented by the liturgical color green. This symbol of hope is the color of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection.
