World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly 2024
On Sunday July 28 we celebrate the fourth World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly. The date is chosen to coincide with the Feast of Saints Joachim and Anne (grandparents of Jesus) during the week.
Pope Francis has chosen the theme “Do not cast me off in my old age” (cf. Psalm 71:9)
