WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS & THE ELDERLY

Sunday, July 24, 2022, the Second World Day for Grandparents, and the Elderly will be celebrated throughout the universal Church. This Day was established in 2021 and is celebrated every year throughout the Church on the fourth Sunday of July, around the feast of St. Joachim and St. Anne, the “grandparents” of Jesus. The theme chosen by the Holy Father for the occasion is "In old age they will still bear fruit" (Psalm 92:15) and intends to emphasize how grandparents and the elderly are a value and a gift both for society and for ecclesial communities.
