Grandparents - God's Divine Gift

Dear Fellow Grandparents,

Peace be with you. 

The first of its kind, created and composed by a team of grandparents to enable Catholic Grandparents to have: 

i. a better understanding of their role as grandparents and to live out this role.                                         

ii. the opportunity to share and learn from each other.                                                                             

Some highlights of the sessions are:

1. Four couple grandparents will share their lived experiences as grandparents, certain concepts and insights on grandparenting as well as fun activities, self reflections, and small group sharing.
