Jesus is calling us to make disciples and to be his witnesses on the Lakeshore, in West Michigan, and to the ends of the earth. LANE is a school of lifelong discipleship that proclaims the Gospel and empowers our Catholic community in West Michigan and beyond to live out Christ’s mission.

Become Catholic: RCIA

Are you curious about Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church? We would love to help you discern the next step in your spiritual journey. The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is the usual way in which adults and teenagers who are not Catholic become members of the Catholic Church.

Study Groups

Study groups are designed for parishioners who would like to grow in their knowledge of God in a small group context. Parishioners can join an existing study group or start their own with support from parish staff.

Parish Library

OLL has an extensive collection of books, plus some DVDs and CDs, that are available for parishioners to borrow. There is also a collection of curricula for study groups that are available upon request.

Lighthouse Kiosk

Located in the gathering space, the kiosk provides a selection of CDs, DVDs, books, and booklets that promote the Catholic faith for a small donation of $3 to $5. Pick something up for yourself or for someone else!

Ministry Partners and Resources

“If you‘re considering Catholicism, or just curious, then consider this…” In this podcast and blog, Greg Smith, Dean of LANE, explores the faith, beliefs, life, and culture of the Catholic Church for curious non-Catholics, and for Catholics who want to know their faith better and share it with others. Episodes include interviews with our pastor, Fr. Michael Burt, and OLL staff members.
