Welcome to Growing Grand! A new website for Christian families set aside for discussing what it means to be “a family of families.” Here, we want to explore the meaning and significance of the intergenerational relationships that exist in our families and in the Church. Even though we present a Catholic and, therefore, traditionally Christian perspective, we want the discussion to remain open to all. We pray that grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren can all find useful topics and food for thought among these pages regardless of their background.
Please take some time to browse, read, comment, like, and share.
Thanks for joining us!
