World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly , Sunday, July 23, 2023.
Pope Francis inaugurated this World Day to be celebrated by the universal Church each July, either on or near the liturgical Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, grandparents of Jesus, to help “treasure the spiritual and human wealth that has been handed down from generation to generation”.
This year’s theme is “His mercy is from age to age” (Lk 1:50), raising the relational interconnection between the old and the young.
To showcase this theme, the CCCB Standing Committee for Family and Life, in tandem with its Office for Evangelization and Catechesis, produced a 30-second promotional video. Other resources can be found on the CCCB website by clicking here.
