Just a few things you might want to consider:

How often will you meet?

• Weekly (if members can commit to it, this is great but, if it is not possible, that is okay too);
• Every other week;
• Once a month (we recommend you meet at least once a month).

Where will you gather?

• The parish hall (everyone knows where it is);
• One person's home (this can be a big commitment from someone, but the home creates a great environment of comfort and trust);
• Rotating homes (again, homes are warm, loving places. This option also gives you the chance to see each other in your own space - a great way to build trust).

When will you gather?

• Tuesdays (it is the day dedicated to St. Anne, the mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus);
• After a Sunday or weekday Mass;
• Over lunch or tea.

How long will you spend together?

• We recommend 1-1½ hours (but feel free to go longer if you like).

What is each person looking for in belonging to the CGA?

• Affirmation and support;
• Comparing the experiences, successes and challenges of Grandparenting;
• Prayer and reflection.
