Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church

What Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church does

Our Lady of Grace Catholic Church is a Catholic parish and 501(c)(3)-equivalent religious nonprofit operating under the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana from a single campus at 9900 E 191st Street in Noblesville, Hamilton County, Indiana. Founded in 1944 by the Montfort Fathers from New York for an initial 14 families, the parish now serves over 1,800 registered families (as of 2017) through five weekend Masses (four English, one Spanish), daily Mass, perpetual Eucharistic adoration, the full seven sacraments, and more than 30 active ministries. Core programming spans the full life cycle: Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (ages 3-6, Montessori-based) and Elementary Religious Education (grades 1-5) for children; EDGE for junior high and Life Teen for high school youth; Bridges for young adults and young families; Cursillo, Exodus 90, Magnify 90, and Cornerstone Weekend for adults; plus Care & Accompaniment ministries (Stephen Ministry, GriefShare, infertility/miscarriage support) for parishioners facing hardship.

The parish operates a wholly-owned auxiliary, Our Lady of Grace Catholic School — a STEM-certified PreK-8 program serving over 500 students annually and the only STEM-certified Catholic school in Indiana — sharing the parish campus and collaborating on sacramental preparation. A bilingual clergy team (Pastor Fr. Clayton Thompson and Associate Pastor Fr. Andrew Morand) supports a dedicated Hispanic Ministry with a Sunday Spanish-language Mass, Spanish sacramental preparation, and cultural programming.

The underlying technology platform is a layered SaaS stack rather than proprietary infrastructure: eCatholic powers the website (ologn.org) and online shop; Flocknote handles email/SMS communications; Formed.org provides a Catholic content library; OSV Hub (Our Sunday Visitor) processes online giving; YouTube and Spotify host live-streamed Masses and the OLG Homilies podcast; and Rotunda Software (Ministry Scheduler Pro) handles liturgical scheduling. No custom software development, data platform, or AI/ML capability is evidenced.

Revenue mechanics depend primarily on weekly tithes and offerings collected at Mass and via OSV Hub online giving (with 5% of ordinary collections tithed onward to those in need), supplemented by: religious education registration fees ($100/student with $300 family cap, $80 sacramental prep add-on); youth event fees (Camp Damascus $670, Bethlehem Farm $200+ deposit, Cornerstone $100-125, VBS, kickball league $50-60); adult formation fees (Bible study $28, CGS catechist training $350); Mass intentions ($10); and parish-branded merchandise sales through the online shop. Six staff directors (Operations, Communications & Advancement, Evangelization, Youth/Young Adult, Technology) plus accounting and ministry coordinators, alongside approximately 20 named support staff and clergy, execute operations. The entity is governed by a Parish Council and Finance Council under the Pastor, with strategic direction set by the 2024-2027 Parish Vision Plan and the 2026 Generations of Grace Capital Campaign.
