We are overjoyed and grateful that Pope Francis has now instituted a ‘World Day of Prayer for Grandparents and the Elderly’ into the Universal Church calendar. Achieving this goal on behalf of Grandparents around the world has been a labour of love for the Catholic Grandparents Association. The first ever ‘World Day of Prayer for Grandparents and the Elderly’ which will be celebrated on 25 July this year.
