St. Mary of Lourdes Catholic Church is located on Main Street in the heart of Bemus Point, making it a familiar and accessible part of village life. The church welcomes both longtime parishioners and visitors who are passing through, whether you’re looking to attend Mass during your stay, observe a holy day, or simply step inside for a few quiet minutes away from the busyness of a summer day on the lake.
For many seasonal visitors and families who return to Bemus Point year after year, attending Mass at St. Mary of Lourdes has become a tradition of its own, a steady and grounding part of time spent in the village. The church is a reminder that Bemus Point is a real community with deep roots, not just a summer destination.

Bemus Point has a therapy alpaca farm. And yes, you can feed them. 🦙
Just outside the village, a small farm sits in the hills with owners who greet you like they have been expecting you. Suri alpacas, mini pigs, chickens, and a gift shop full of handmade fiber goods made right from the herd.
The farm is certified in animal assisted therapy and has welcomed school-aged children all the way through elderly visitors from across the region.
It is the kind of afternoon that works on everyone differently and leaves people quieter and happier than when they arrived.
Come with your family.
Come with a group.
Come on a random Saturday and see what happens.
Open Saturdays 12 PM to 4 PM and by appointment.
📍 4463 Mahanna Rd, Bemus Point, NY
