World Day for Grandparents and Elderly:
Restoring dignity to those who are cast aside
“His mercy is from age to age” is the theme of the third edition of the worldwide event, desired by Pope Francis, which will be celebrated on July 23, 2023 with a Mass by the Pope in St. Peter’s Square. The Secretary of the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life points out that “The theme is connected to the WYD in Lisbon to emphasize dialogue with young people. The Day is a time to reflect with and for the elderly, not only as a Church: grandparents also need political support.”
