About Us
The Catholic Journey Project is a lay organization and is grateful for the support and collaboration of those whose stewardship helps to bring our work to life. We have faith in those who join us in answering the call to serve God’s people.
We have faith that those who seek God, will find Him, when they seek with all their heart. We have faith that those who find God through Jesus Christ, will continuously seek greater relationship with Him throughout their lifelong journey. We have faith that those we serve desire the fullness of Christianity.

Our Team
Leadership
Robert McGrath
MAnaging Director
Responsible for overseeing the operational and organizational work that allows the mission of the Project to move forward in a practical and sustainable way.
I approach this work with the understanding that service to the Church also requires good stewardship of time, talent, and material resources. By combining experience in leadership, business, and ministry, my goal is to help create a stable foundation from which the Project can offer clear, faithful, and supportive Catholic resources to those who are searching for truth and a deeper relationship with God.
