A parish church is a spiritual family, a fellowship of disciples of the Jesus Christ. Every Christian is called through Baptism to follow Jesus Christ by worshiping the Father in Sprit and in Truth, by loving one another, by proclaiming the Gospel, and by serving those in need. We hope this website will give you a glance of how we do these things here at St. Mary of the Lake, New Buffalo, MI.
If you are new to the parish or just dropping by to take a look, you are most welcome. Our parish community is a vibrant one that seeks to make the Gospel of Jesus Christ present and effective here in New Buffalo-Michigan. Please feel free to contact our parish office: 269-469-2637 or [email protected]

Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs, or anything else—God is in this person’s life. You can, you must try to seek God in every human life. Although the life of a person is a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow.
You have to trust God.” - Pope Francis
