What is World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly?
The World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, held on the fourth Sunday of July, was instituted by Pope Francis in 2021 to honor the role of grandparents and elderly people in the life of families and society. The day encourages younger generations to visit and spend time with their grandparents and elderly relatives, combating the epidemic of loneliness that affects many older people. Elderly people carry irreplaceable wisdom, memories, and love that form the foundation of families and communities. The annual theme always centers on the dignity, presence, and invaluable contribution of the elderly.
