Hearts on Fire

Our Lady of Grace's pastoral efforts this year (using the academic year – September 2019 to June 2020) are guided by the theme “Hearts on Fire.” Jesus sets our hearts on fire with His love. Fanning the flame of love keeps the fire going. This is at the core of our faith life. We are in a living relationship with the Lord through baptism. Our Lady of Grace Parish will be offering different opportunities to accent this theme and help us to grow in our relationship with the Lord and each other in the communion we share. We hope this theme helps you to draw ever closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus this year and beyond!

Check out our flyer below and mark your calendars for the many exciting events and opportunities coming soon to Our Lady of Grace. More details about many of these events can be found below the flyer, and more will be posted as their dates approach. Additional events may be coming as well, so stay tuned!
 

"Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Your love. Send forth Your Spirit and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit, we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations, through Christ our Lord. Amen."

You can find more detailed information about our upcoming events and opportunities below!
Stay tuned for continued updates!
