Grandparenting Workshop

save the date
SATURDAY
SEPTEMBER 12, 2026

 

Our speaker, Lorene Duquin, author of The Catholic Grandparents' Handbook explains the difference between being a grandparent and a Catholic grandparent lies in viewing the role as a spiritual vocation. While all grandparents offer love and support, Catholic grandparents focus on intentionally weaving the Catholic faith, prayer, and religious traditions into their grandchildren's lives to help pass on a spiritual legacy.
