Welcome...

Welcome to the website of Our Lady of Graces Catholic Parish, Carina. 

Our Lady of Graces has been a Dominican Parish for 71 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.’

We are inviting the different nationalities which make up OUR Community of Our Lady of Graces to be part of the Multicultural Mass & festivities after 6pm Mass on Saturday 21 October. It would be wonderful to have as many different nationalities as possible involved.
We are looking for the following people for the Mass:
  • Flag bearers for the Entrance Procession
  • A nationality group to carry in the Book of the Gospels
  • To read a Prayer of the Faithful in their own language
  • A nationality group to bring up the Offertory gifts
  • Those who want to lead a song in their own language during the Mass
If you are interested in being involved in the Mass, please contact the Parish Office.

After the Mass, we welcome any group who would like to perform a dance or sing a song while we enjoy the food from the different nationalities of our community.

We also invite everyone attending the Multicultural Celebration to come in national dress/costume.
