Our next Faith Cafe will be held on Tuesday the 13th of January

We begin 2026 with a Faith Café of exceptional importance—one that speaks directly to the future of our grandchildren and the future of the Church itself. We strongly encourage you not to miss this Faith Café, as it will help us better understand the challenges facing Gen Z and how Grandparents can respond with faith, hope, and courage.

We are delighted to invite you to our January Faith Café with our special guest, David Quinn, renowned journalist and founder and head of The Iona Institute.

Theme: “Does Gen Z Have a Future Without Religion?”

David Quinn is a well-known journalist in Ireland who specialises in religious and social affairs. He has been a national newspaper columnist since 1994 and currently writes weekly columns for both The Sunday Independent and The Irish Catholic. He served as editor of The Irish Catholic from 1996 to 2003 and later as Social and Religious Affairs Correspondent for The Irish Independent from 2003 to 2006.

He is a frequent contributor to radio and television programmes and writes for numerous publications internationally. Among those he has publicly debated are leading figures of the “new atheism,” including Professor Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

David Quinn has played a prominent role in national discussions on vital issues such as the right to life, the nature of marriage, Church–State relations, Christian sexual morality, religious freedom, and the future of faith-based education.

He is the founder and head of The Iona Institute, a Christian research and advocacy organisation established in 2007, dedicated to promoting the dignity of the family, the sanctity of life, and freedom of religion in an increasingly secular world.

Please take note of the time difference where you are.
