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.

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.
