To serve the poor, the imprisoned, the hungry, the forgotten is to serve Jesus
– Father Kevin Finnegan

Birthday cards are an attainable way for parishioners interested in a meaningful way to minister to the imprisoned and forgotten. OLG is partnering with Affirming You Birthday Card Ministry for the Incarcerated to respond to Jesus’ injunction in Matthew 25:36.

Birthday Card Ministry will take place at 9:30 AM at OLG after Mass. Training is provided and includes guidelines to ensure privacy for the writers and recipients. RSVPs appreciated but not required at 952-929-3317.

Our Lady of Grace's partnership with Twin Cities Prison Ministry, the coordinating body for prison ministry for the Archdiocese of St. Paul & Minneapolis, provides many opportunities to serve the incarcerated and returned citizens that include: prayer companions, pen pals, extraordinary minister/assist priest with Mass, OCIA, bible study, mentoring and much more.
