Vatican News
One day before the Feast Day of Saints Joachim and Anne, grandparents of Jesus, Pope Francis has established the first World Day of Grandparents and Elderly to be celebrated July 25, 2021. Pope Francis has chosen the theme to be “I am with you every day” (Mt. 28.20) to express the coseness of the Lord and Church to every elderly person; and as a topic of hope that all persons – young and old – can share together. “This is the first fruit of the Amoris Laetitia Family Year, a gift to the whole Church destined to remain over the years”.
