Are you a grandparent or great grandparent? The Catholic Grandparents Association (CGA) is a worldwide organization formed by and for grandparents, to support and encourage one another in this vocation. The mission of CGA is “to help grandparents pass on the faith and to keep prayer at the heart of family life”.
The St. Faustina Chapter of CGA was formed in the autumn of 2023. We meet once a month on a weekday afternoon for prayer, discussion, and fellowship. Sometimes we engage in a service project or field trip in place of a monthly meeting. The discussion topics are usually taken from The Grandparents Handbook: Creative Ways to Show Love, Share Faith, and Have Fun, by Lorene Hanley Duquin, The Word Among Us Press, 2018. The facilitator or guest speaker leads the discussion; it is not necessary for members to buy a book. Enrollment is free of any dues or fees and all activities are voluntary, but it’s important to register with the ministry leader for planning purposes.
Grandparents Christmas Pilgrimage
Join us on Friday, December 15, as they prepare for Christmas by making a family pilgrimage to the nearby Basilica Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe. They will travel by carpool from St. Faustina. Everything is free, but head counts are essential, A knowledgeable docent will provide a special guided tour just for us at 4 pm. View the sublime Nativity Scene filling an entire chapel, walk the peaceful Rosary Garden, and learn about the many unique sculptures and stained-glass windows, all created to inspire faith and prayer, and of course the awesome Schoenstein organ with over 5,000 pipes! After a group dinner, we will enjoy the Orchestra and Choir Christmas Concert and Sign-Along at 7:30 pm. Register by emailing Jerilyn Polson at: nonnagerarda86@gmail.com
