All About Catholic Grandparents Association

By Jana Serrano


As you travel along the path of life, you will come to the end of it and reminisce everything you have had in your lifetime. And when you realize that you have arrived to your twilight years, you will feel very lucky and very fulfilled. But its not yet the end of your mission. That is because as long as we live, we cannot stop working. And the last task you have to undergo is being a grandparent.

Commonly, grandparents become very fond of their grandchildren that it almost seemed as if they loved them more than they do their children. But that is not necessarily the case. First of all, grandparents have a role to play and so they need to get involved and by doing so, they foster the kind of relationship they all display. That is what is common in the Catholic grandparents association.

Well it was said that there is nothing stronger than the love and caring which the grandparents show to their grandchildren. But then let us understand how this came into being. First of all, it is true that the parents love for their children is the strongest. And the fact the grandchildren are offspring of their children, a different kind of love is exhibited.

You see, the love which the parents have for their children is inclusive. They even get to love their kids friends a lot so what more if it were a grandchild. This is the reason why grandparents pamper their grandchildren a lot. That is simply an overflow of the love that they have for their child. When you ask grannies about this, they would simply say, I love my children, thats why.

That is how grannies feel for their granddaughters and grandsons. Given the fact that they are a product of their own kids, they loved them like their own. But sometimes, grannies become very fond of their grandchildren that they tend to spoil them. This is one reason why the association for Catholic grandparents existed.

Truly. In a Catholic family, nothing is more important than teaching and leading the child into the way of truth and life which is in God alone. Just as these grannies who were parents of the present ones before put their all to this mission, so do they have the same goal for their grandchildren. Thus, the association of Catholic grannies emerged.

Because of this, the association of catholic grandparents emerged. This group was founded by a granny as well who was a very loving one. She is Catherine Wiley and their vocation has been over ten years now. And it is such a blessing that this community emerged. According to the association, it is their responsibility, duty, and vocation to do what they can.

And it was such an inspiration for the group when the Holy Father, Pope Francis spoke of how he greatly loved his grandmother Rosa who became his teacher of faith. Because of this, all the elders who have taken his message were moved to play their role. And with this, the grannies took on their mission.

With this, the association also got empowered. And they accommodated grannies who wished to know how the task should be carried out. So now you understand why they grandparents pamper their grandchildren so much. It is still because of their parental role and love after all.
