The theme for the 2025 US celebration of the World Day for Grandparents and Elderly, September 6/7, 2025, is “Blessed are those who have not lost hope” (cf. Sir 14:2). These words, taken from the Book of Sirach, express the blessedness of the elderly and highlight the hope placed in the Lord as the path to a Christian and reconciled old age. Resources to celebrate can be found on the USCCB website here.
