Our Lady of the Pines is a Spirit-filled Catholic community that started with the dream of fourteen Catholics who met in July, 1961, to share their vision for a Catholic parish in the Black Forest. Over forty years later, we are a growing and vibrant Christian community of over 770 families. We are proud of our heritage and excited about our future. Our parish families unite their gifts of time, talent and treasure so that we may fully respond to God’s call in our lives. We invite all to come and share our life in faith.

Mission Statement Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father. ~ MT 5:16 Vision Statement Our Lady of the Pines Catholic parish is a
welcoming community of followers of Christ, living the Gospel message in service, fellowship, and
worship.
We serve by evangelizing, as commanded by our Lord, in such a way as to allow individuals to witness, live for, and speak of the glory of God. We serve by developing ministries that educate and bring spiritual growth to adults, families, children, youth, and the elderly. In fellowship, we provide social and familial activities to strengthen our relationships with each other, our families, and our Lord. We worship in the sacraments, devotions, and liturgical celebrations that strengthen our relationship with the Triune God as a community, and as individuals. We live the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, who told us that whatever we do for the least of these, we do for him. |
