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.’

Over the years, our Parish Community has been very supportive of our Craft and Jam Stall at the Sunday Funday. As the date draws near we are still seeking donations of home-made jams, chutneys, pickles and craft items which will go on sale in May. If anybody has lemons or cumquats, they would be appreciated. If you are making produce or items which you would like to donate, would you please contact Ashleigh in the Parish Office on 3398 2977 or leave items with her for collection please. Many thanks to those who have already provided craft items and sugar. All contributions are much appreciated. |
