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.’

Multicultural Mass
On Saturday 19th October we will be celebrating the many diverse cultures of our Parish and Australia. We have many different nationalities here at Our Lady of Graces, so it would be great to celebrate all that we are and bring to our community. The celebration will be at the Saturday 6pm Mass followed by festivities. We invite everyone to bring in a small dish of food from your nation to share with everyone as we come together.
