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 |

Update on the Church Roof
Following further weather delays earlier this week, work continues on the Western Side of the Church. We should have the Western Side of the Church completed by the end of July, as long as the weather is in our favour. Scaffolding will start to be erected on the Eastern Side of the Church in the next couple of weeks. Once the scaffolding starts to be built on the Eastern Side of the Church, the main entrance into the Church on weekends will be via the tiled area in-between the white Parapet Walls where the noticeboards are located. Further details will be provided next week, once we have had further clarification. IMPORTANT: Car Park - Friday 9.00am Mass
Parishioners are advised that parking may be limited for 9.00am Mass this Friday, 19 July. This is due to St Martin’s holding their Grandparents Day. We will do our best to ensure that the majority of the car parks marked CHURCH are left for those attending 9.00am Mass. However, you may wish to give yourself an extra few minutes, just in case you need to park down the street. Sunday 5.30pm Kids' Mass
The monthly 5.30pm Kids’ Mass will next be held on Sunday 21 July. Children can participate in the Kids’ Mass by reading, taking up the collection, handing out newsletters, or bringing up the gifts. To take part, go to www.schoolinterviews.com.au and using code 6tg2y, register for the ministry of your choice. Alternativity, contact Shelly at the Parish Office on 3398 2977 or email [email protected]. |
