“Dear Grandparents, welcome to the Catholic Grandparents Association. The Association grew out of our National Grandparents Pilgrimages to Knock where thousands of grandparents gathered in recent years, united by the same goal to do the very best we can for our children and grandchildren. The main aims of the Catholic Grandparent Association are to support grandparents in their faith, and to help them pass on the torch of faith to their grandchildren.”
