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.

007   We wanted to say a Heartfelt Thank You to all of those parishioners who came to the Chicken Dinner. Your support was truly appreciated in recognizing the 50th anniversary of the church building. Thank you to those who also donated various things for the dinner. Without your generosity it wouldn't have been the same. An extra special Thank you for Mr. Dennis Churillo and his youth group whose help before, and after the dinner were invaluable. God bless all of you who were involved. Please keep an eye out for more upcoming events.
-Sincerely, The 50th Anniversary OLG Committee

Called to Serve

called2serve
    Amid all the uncertainty lately, we would like to re-establish our commission of Greeters in the Church to welcome those who have come to celebrate Mass with us. This can be done as an individual or as a family, as a friendly face to strangers as well as long time Parishioners. To volunteer to be at a door before Mass, please see a Pastoral Council member, Eucharistic Minister, Usher, Danette, or call the Parish office to schedule a time. If everyone volunteers at least once during the year, we can have every door covered, every Mass. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
RIP
