The only bad thing I have about the school is that some of the teachers in particular Mrs. Sandy Zigman a 6th grade math teacher is very disrespectful towards children and their parents! My son has attended Lady Of Our Lake for about two years and he loves it! from my understanding I always thought a teacher was supposed to be polite respectful and courteous unfortunately Mr. Zigman has neither.. I saw her at a parent teacher conference talking to other parent In a very aggressive way The parent was asking questions about her son in her math class and how he didn’t really understand certain things, Mrs Zigman kept Interrupting the parent and cutting her off In a very disrespectful way my son said she has done the same thing to him. My husband and I had A conference with her and in the conference she was very rude and very disrespectful cutting everything short talking in a aggressive tone and leaving the table to put papers on her desk while myself my husband and 4 other teachers were attending this meeting! Her disposition was very dissed tasteful as a teacher of a Catholic school (or any school) especially when parents are paying $5000 a year for their Children to attend. fortunately it’s so sad that we have a school of this caliber with disrespectful ill mannered teachers who’s teaching our children (not all the teachers😊) overall The school has some outstanding teachers but there’s always that one 😑
My place to be every Sunday.!!🙏
Father Fortuna is just wonderful!I attended mass every Sunday since I returned to Ohio. I must add that I traveled some distance to this church because Fr. Fortuna uplifts me and yet he stays true to the authentic Catholic teachings.It hurts me deeply to hear such terrible things some individuals and groups say about our Catholic Faith. Catholic - meaning Universal and for the good of All.The graces of the Holy Sacraments are Sacred! Receiving Holy Communion is not an option, its the vital food that activates our connection to good conscience, the wisdom of the Divine Spirit of Almighty God and His Covenant with us through Christ our Savior. Without it, deception and temptation runs ramped.The Sacrament of reconciliation is necessary because our Lord instructed His apostles to hand down through generations, In Persona Christie, the ordanation of priests to obsolve our sins so we can correct our errors and get back onto the path of rightousness.The Catholic faith is the first faith of Christianity given to the world by Christ Himself when He established the apostle as the Rock of the foundation of His Church.How could any person deny the great graces and miracles that flow through our Catholic faith when countless Saints remains are incorruptible to this day? Illnesses are cured, cripples threw away their crutches, cold hearts became warm and by reciting the Holy Rosary, great miracles of conversion become reality!

2021-03-11An experience that I cannot say was favorable.Understandably, no one likes the outcast. Children also, are very mean, vicious, and cruel, perhaps inherently by being children. I attended this school and was bullied relentlessly, but this I can forgive as I did, due to being emotionally, physically, and mentally unstable due to having to deal with abuse at home, make myself the outcast. My issue is not with the student body, but with how the teachers and staff members saw an individual showing very blatant signs of trauma from abuse and did nothing.Furthermore, some even added more stress to a very young and impressionable child such as myself, and I believe this was done so knowingly. Do you remember back in your school days, when the mean girl who bullied others said she wanted to become a nurse? And then, thats just a way for her to stroke her power complex because she can now get away with hurting already vulnerable people unapologetically? Thats exactly what a few of the teachers at this school reminded me of when I attended. A lot of them are ridiculously calloused, judgmental, and they knowingly isolate you emotionally and belittle you with a scowl on their faces, because you were wrong by just being a child.Ever since growing to be much better than I was back almost ten years ago now, and coming to accept that I am no longer going to hold myself up to the stereotypical Catholic Christian standards in regards to concepts like modesty and self-expression, Ive realized that its so much more healthy and fulfilling to love yourself for who you are naturally, than to make yourself palatable for other people to consume. This school did not help me realize this at all, and in fact was one of the big reasons why I as a teenager, did some very bad things to my body that can never fully heal.It is of my belief that if you are to become a teacher, or to be around children, whether or not the school is religiously oriented or not, it is your responsibility to ensure that every child feels safe, secure, and protected. Even if you find you personally disagree with aspects of how the child is displaying their own sense of self, there is absolutely no place for you to destroy who they are as a person in order to shape them into a cookie cut-out of your ideal (see: unquestioning) youth. And the moment you decide to elect to ignore seeing someone in blatant need of help in favor of your preconceived moral standards fueled blindly by faith you are reprehensible.This school will not protect you if you are different. This school can and will make you an outcast. This school will ignore your cries for help, and it will force feed you ridiculous and outdated social standards that are not fit for the 21st century, such as the omitting of proper sex education in favor of an Abstinence First! method of teaching. You are a fool if you genuinely believe that these young adults are going to seriously dedicate themselves to a sentiment that is being upheld by a dying generation, and you are only hurting those involved by not informing them, as is your responsibility to do so, of not only safe sex, but in specific, consent.Modernize and create more intelligent members of society who can take care of themselves, instead of useless adults that dont know how to function because you turned them into lobotomites while they were still young.

2019-11-08I worked at this parish for several years and still volunteer there. Fr Joe is genuine, caring and dedicated and I made some great friends on the staff. Theyre a valuable resource in the community -- lots of good people doing good work.

2019-02-28I went to this school a few years ago. this school is horrible, the principal rita kingsbury FORCED me to come out to my mother when i was not ready to do so. i cried and begged her not to make me and she said that if i didnt do it then she would call her and do it for me... this school disgusts me, christians are supposed to spread love and respect yet she had no respect for me. not true christians at all.

2016-12-13As a previous student of this school I would like to say a few things. I went here for kindergarten-3rd grade. I was held back for another year of 1st grade. We were told it had something to do with my birthday and I was a bit young. But I was harassed by a teacher for not wanting to play with a girl that was incredibly mean during recess. I believe the girl was the teachers niece. She taught 4th grade and the way she spoke to me makes me so glad I never had her class for a full year because I truly believe she would have tormented me. Not only that but you will not believe what kind of bullying went on at this school back then. Im 20yrs old now and after reading one of the other reviews Im deeply saddened to find out its still going on. The teachers did nothing to stop it. This was the place I learned about sex too. Again I was only there from kindergarten-3rd and then we moved but I would hear about detailed sexual activities from students my age during recess. There were a good amount of young students cussing at this private school. I met a boy that stole one of his mothers rings and chased a girl around trying to propose. On another occasion he had cigarettes.While some of this may seem inevitable at any school or just silly like the boy with the ring I will promise you that on many occasions the teachers crossed significant boundary lines and also ignored me and other children who were dealing with bullying.The public schools I went to after going to Holy Cross (Lady of The Lake) always took action. I had so many great teachers after moving. I graduated high school a year early with honors. I will say they werent perfect but I was much more comfortable after leaving this particular school.Im warning parents now. If nothing has changed I would reconsider sending your child here. I have horrible memories of this place and the staff.

2019-01-26Attended funeral. Priest clearly knew the parishioner and Scripture. Crowded church but no one sings nor participates.
