We the members of Our Lady of Grace Parish are a Catholic Christian, ecumenical community under the auspices of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston.

We are dedicated to providing an environment for ourselves and for others in which we can grow in a spirit of thanksgiving , worship, and love.  We wish to deepen our individual and collective faith in God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the Sacraments of the Church, Particularly the Eucharist, and in Mary, Mother of Grace.

We gather together as a community of Faith, based on love, acceptance, interdependence, compassion, and service.

Our purpose as a parish family is to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ by word and example. We use our God-given talents to bring ourselves and others close to God. We accept our Baptismal call to make the faith of the Church known to all people by taking our personal part in evangelization.

Sunday Message:  May 10, 2026

Sixth Sunday of Easter

On this Mother’s Day, we pause with grateful hearts to honor one of God’s greatest blessings: the gift of mothers. A mother’s love is often the first language of tenderness a child learns, the first shelter in life’s storms, and the first reflection of God’s own unfailing care. Through her words, her sacrifices, her prayers,
and her daily faithfulness, a mother quietly shapes not only a home, but also the soul of a family. Motherhood is a sacred vocation, marked by joy and sacrifice, patience and perseverance, gentleness and strength. Mothers give so much of themselves, often without notice or reward, yet their influence endures in the character, faith, and values they pass on to their children. In a world that can sometimes be restless, hurried, and uncertain, the steadfast love of a mother remains a source of stability and hope.

On this special day, we give thanks for all mothers — those who nurture with care, those who guide with wisdom, those who comfort with compassion, and those whose memory continues to bless our lives. We also remember grandmothers, godmothers, foster mothers, and all women who lovingly stand in maternal roles for others. May every mother be strengthened in her vocation and honored for her unseen sacrifices. May our homes be filled with gratitude, our families with peace, and our hearts with reverence for the beauty of motherhood. And may the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of our Lord, intercede for all mothers, and lead them always closer to the heart of her Son.

A Happy Mothers’ Day to all our mothers. May God bless them always.
