A Welcome from the Pastor

Welcome to Our Lady of Grace Parish. We are glad you’re here. I invite you to join us in getting to know Christ better and in passing on to others the great joy that comes from practicing your faith.

Our parish enjoys good collaboration between the pastor and lay leadership. We have a visionary pastoral council, with strong, hard working commissions, committees and ministries. Our finance council oversees parish finances, and we are a stewardship parish.

Our responsibilities as Catholics extend far beyond time and money for buildings, administration and charities. These are difficult times; God is often absent from daily life. The times call for personal commitment and leadership in proclaiming the good news of the Lord everywhere. It is a time for nurturing our own faith and making way for power of the Spirit in our families and communities. I invite you to join us in this great adventure in faith. We need you.

We created this web site for you. It catalogs many of the opportunities in our parish for spiritual growth and works of mercy. Make it a project for yourself and for your family to study and discern where you fit in, whether as a full time or seasonal parishioner; as a minister, recipient of God’s bounty, or both; or simply as a visitor to this site. We welcome all. May God bless you.

                                       Rev. Austin M. Mullen, Pastor
