Welcome...Welcome to the website of Our Lady of Graces Catholic Parish, Carina.
Our Lady of Graces has been a Dominican parish for over 65 years, staffed by a community of Dominican friars. We belong to one of the older religious orders in the Church, founded by St Dominic in the early years of the 13th century. Dominic wanted to help people towards a deeper relationship with God through a better understanding of what God has revealed to us about himself and about what God has made possible for us. If you are considering joining our parish community, contact the parish office, and we will do our best to make you feel ‘at home.’ Fr Alex Vickers O.P. Parish Priest |

Parish Phone System Issue
We currently have an issue with the parish phone system in that some phones will not accept any of the options available (i.e. Press 1 for the Parish Office). Please note we are looking into this issue and hope to have it rectified soon. Sorry for any inconvenience. 
Donations of Wool for St Vincent de Paul
St Vincent de Paul would appreciate donations of wool so some of our parishioners can make warm items for those in need during this upcoming Winter Season. If you can assist with any donations of wool, please either drop the donations into the Parish Office or place them in the St Vincent de Paul baskets near the front door of the church. Hours of Grace
This coming Wednesday, 19 May, ‘Hours of Grace’ Eucharistic Adoration will be held at San Sisto College Chapel between 8.30am – 4.00pm. All are welcome to visit the chapel during the day. The ‘Hours of Grace’ is an initiative of Jesus Youth Australia inviting everyone across Australia to participate in Eucharistic Adoration in the time before Pentecost. National Volunteer Week
This week, 17-23 May, Australia celebrates National Volunteer Week. This year’s theme is apt in the wake of the COVID19 pandemic - ”Recognise, Reconnect, Re-Imagine” Throughout the parishes, and by virtue of its work with Centacare, the Archdiocese has one of the largest number of volunteer groups throughout the state - around 10,000 people. We recognise the valuable contribution that these volunteers make to keep the wheels turning in the local church. |
