Welcome...
Welcome to the website of Our Lady of Graces Catholic Parish, Carina. I hope you find our website useful, with answers to any questions you may have. Please feel free to ring the parish office if there is anything further we may be able to do for you.
Since its very beginning, just over 50 years ago, Our Lady of Graces has been a Dominican parish, 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.
Whether you are already one of our parishioners or not, we would welcome any ideas about how we could improve this website. If you are considering joining our parish community, we ask you to fill in the folder for new parishioners at the back of the church, and we will do our best to make you feel ‘at home.’

Community News
New Piano for OLOG
Three weeks ago, our old electronic piano was replaced with a brand new Yamaha digital piano. Many would have noticed that the sound coming from the ‘old’ piano left much to be desired. As a result of our faithful contributions to the Planned Giving program, Our Lady of Graces was able to purchase this new instrument. Please go and check out this new instrument in the music area and may its beautiful tones deepen our love of God through song. Italian Community Christmas Brunch
