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.’ Fr Alex Vickers O.P.

Registration to Attend Sunday Mass
Due to the current COVID-19 Restrictions, Our Lady of Graces Parish can only cater for 100 people at each of its Sunday Masses.
Therefore, registration for Sunday Mass attendance is required. We encourage parishioners to use the on-line system called Eventbrite via the button below called 'Registration for Sunday Mass'. Please note that you do not need to print off a booking ticket.
If you have problems using this on-line system, you can make a booking by calling the parish office (3398 2977).
Registration for Sunday Masses (including Saturday evening) will close at midday on the Friday prior.
Please do not rely on space being available and just turn up at Mass. Registration will ensure that a space is available for you. The collection of names and contact details is a requirement and allows authorities to contact trace attendees should the need arise.
Everyone needs to observe physical distancing whilst at the church. Measures such as no Communion on the tongue, no Communion from the chalice, and no shaking of hands at the sign of peace remain in place. There will be two large boxes located inside the church for you to place your 1st & 2nd Collection offerings, as we will not be able to pass around the collection boxes/trays.

Thank You - St Vincent de Paul June Appeal
Members of St Vincent de Paul at Our Lady of Graces Conference wish to thank all those parishioners who so kindly donated to the appeal last weekend at such short notice. Your generosity is very appreciated and raised $1,014 which will enable the Carina Conference to continue delivering food parcels and assisting those in need in the Carina-Carindale community for a few more weeks.
Our external funding has dried up as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions and the downturn in the economy so we would appreciate as much assistance as possible. All donations of food and/or store gift vouchers can be left at the back of the church in the marked container. Cash donations in a sealed enveloped marked St Vincent de Paul can be dropped in the parish collection boxes at the church entrance. Alternatively, you can make an online donation as under:
Your continuing support over the next six months is essential for the ongoing activities of St Vincent de Paul in our local community. Together we can get through this.
