PREAMBLE
The Catholic Graduates Association (CGA) is an organization within the Catholic Church that groups together all those Catholics who have attained a University Diploma and above.
Realizing that all Christians have a noble obligation to give back to the Almighty Father through the society given the levels of achievement which have been attained by these individuals, the CGA was born in order to entrench this philosophy.
Therefore, the CGA is a calling of Catholic Graduates to make a contribution to the society as a humble duty consistent with a calling with all their might and passion. To this end, all those that are willing to serve in line with the calling as a way of giving back to the Heavenly Father through the society or communities are encouraged to voluntarily join the CGA.

MISSION STATEMENT
The CGA stands for a humble and noble calling to its willing Catholic Members to give back to the Almighty Father, through the society or communities in which they live in and such contributions must be consistent with the calling to serve with Humility, Passion and Might.
OBJECTIVES OF THE CGA
Some of the objectives of the CGA are:
Enhancing the Catholic faith and understanding of the Catholic teachings among the Catholic Graduates and Diplomates.
Fostering a continuing spirit of family, friendship, tradition and loyalty to the Catholic faith.
To give and provide voluntary support where certified expertise is evident in skills to support the Church and its institutions.
To play a highly visible, active and constructive role in the society which is consistent with the teaching of the Church and undertaking by a deep sense of duty and humility.
In this regard the CGA intends to group together a database of these Catholics so that they can be called upon to avail themselves and wherever such opportunity arises and certified expertise is evident to provide specialized skills in support of the Church’s institutions.
