The church and school campus is located in the heart of Mandeville, just two blocks from the shores of Lake Pontchartrain.  The beautiful grounds reflect the love and respect for the Catholic faith.

As a community of believers, Our Lady of the Lake entrusts itself to the patronage of Our Lady, Help of Christians, and emulates the Spirit of St. John Bosco.  The parish promotes the Holy Eucharist and reverence of the Blessed Mother.  It also hosts a vibrant youth program and numerous other ministries.
