and parish family of Saint Mary Our Lady of Grace we extend this heartfelt invitation: No matter what your present or past status in the Catholic Church.
No matter what your current family or marital situation. No matter what your past or present religious affiliation.
No matter what your personal history, age, background, race, or color. You are invited, welcomed, accepted and loved here at Saint Mary Our Lady of Grace.
In the words of Saint Francis of Assisi: May the Lord give you peace.
