We, the Catholic Community of faith at Our Lady of Grace Parish, baptized into the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, are committed to make visible His life and ministry through spiritual growth in our lives, worship, community and service to those in need.

Welcome to Our Lady of Grace

Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church community is located just off the town’s main square in Highland, IN on Highway Avenue. Our parish community welcomes people from Highland as well as from the surrounding communities of Griffith, Gary, Munster, Hammond, East Chicago, Indiana and Lansing, Illinois.

You are most welcome to join us in our efforts to grow in relationship with the Lord and fellowship with others who also seek and search for direction and support of our common goal – the journey of life to the Father through Jesus and help of the Spirit.

Ash Wednesday Mass Times—8:30 am and 6:30 pm
Rice Bowls begins
Stations of the Cross: will be held on Friday’s during Lent at 5:30 pm The Lenten Fast Ash Wednesday: This day is commemorated by fasting and by abstinence from meat. Lenten Fridays: These days are marked by the discipline of abstinence from meat. The Lenten Fast is a fast of penance. Our self-denial is a way of emphasizing our dependence on God.
The Paschal Fast: “The Paschal Fast must be kept sacred. It should be celebrated everywhere on Good Friday, and where possible should be prolonged throughout Holy Saturday” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy # 110) Good Friday through Holy Saturday: These days are marked by fasting and by abstinence from meat. Please note that these days are not part of Lent or the Lenten Fast. The Paschal Fast is a fast of anticipation. The observance of this most ancient fast is a solemn way to prepare ourselves for the reception of the Easter Communion.
