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.’
