CWN Editor's Note: The theme of the 3rd World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, which will take place on July 23, is “His mercy is from age to age” (Luke 1:50).

Established by Pope Francis, the day takes place on the fourth Sunday in July, close to July 26, the memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne (the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary and grandparents of Jesus).
