Catholic Grandparents Association
The Catholic Grandparents Association grew out of Grandparents Pilgrimages, where thousands of grandparents gathered in recent years, united by the same goal to do the very best for their children and grandchildren. Grandparents’ vital contribution to the family, the Church and society was never as important as now. At the heart of the Catholic Grandparents Association is the firm belief that this is our duty, our responsibility, our vocation, and we must do what we can.

Faith on Fire
The FIRE project offers a framework for parish adult faith education tailored to meet the pastoral and financial needs of each parish, and crucially, also offers the support personnel (catechists, coordination, administration, training etc) to implement it. Using existing catechetical resources, the Fire Project will develop a faith formation framework for client parishes, based around the liturgical year and strongly utilising existing times of gathering / engagement (sacramental preparation, Easter, Christmas, Ash Wednesday, funerals, ministry leaders etc) to provide and grow a vibrant faith education for Catholic faithful, mindful of the real life context and characteristics of the Catholic faith in Ireland at the present time.
