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.’ Fr Alex Vickers O.P. Parish Priest |

In 2024, the National Child Protection Week message that ‘Every child in every community needs a fair go’ will be complemented with the theme ‘Every conversation matters’.

On Saturday 7 September we celebrate 49 years since the consecration and dedication of Our Lady of Graces Church and 72 years since the parish was established by the Dominican Friars. Celebrating the anniversary gives us, the local Church, the opportunity to give thanks for the faith that has been passed on from generation to generation and pray for continued blessings and renewal.
