The Catholic Grandparent Ministry invites grandparents to grow deeper in prayer for their children and grandchildren and to be authentic witnesses of Jesus. God’s plan for grandparents calls them to help their families become disciples of Jesus Christ.
The purpose of the Grandparent Ministry is to provide grandparents opportunities for prayer, support, and encouragement while equipping them with the tools needed to pass on the Catholic faith to their grandchildren.
