The World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly (background) falls on the fourth Sunday of July, near the memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandparents of Jesus.
This year, the day’s theme is “In old age they will still bear fruit” (Psalm 92:15). Pope Francis has issued a message for the day and has enriched its commemoration with a plenary indulgence.
