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.
