Description
On Sunday, July 26, the Church will celebrate the World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, an observance established by Pope Francis in 2021 to recognize the vital role older people play in families, society, and the life of the Church. This year's theme, chosen by Pope Leo XIV, is "I Will Never Forget You." In a message for the occasion, the Holy Father reflected on the loneliness many elderly people experience and encouraged young people to revive the beautiful custom of visiting their grandparents and elderly people who have no one to visit them. He concluded with a reminder that growing old never changes our identity as God's children. EWTN News' Zofia Czubak reports.
