OUR HISTORY AT OUR LADY OF GRACE
75th Anniversary Memory
The Holy Family Sisters served the parish from its beginning. They began with religious instruction for children, including children from public schools, teaching in garages and classes in the old church. Their work expanded to include Visitors of the Sick, RCIA, Returning Catholics, Vacation Bible School, the Christmas Pageant and other parish duties. They have moved on, but their participation over the years will long be remembered and appreciated.
