OUR NAME

• The name Grace:

  • honors the great love God has for all people in the gift of his son, Jesus Christ.

  God showers grace upon His people each day through:

  • the gift of the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion whereby God calls and strengthens those whom he makes his own;
  • the forgiveness of sins;
  • the mutual conversation and consolation of the faithful through prayer.

  Each day we learn that we are not alone , nor need we rely only on our own small resources for life,

  for we are surrounded by the love of God in Christ Jesus.
