Pope Francis announced the theme for the 2023 celebration of the World Day for Grandparents and Elderly, “His mercy is from age to age” (Lk 1:50).

The U.S. bishops have approved the transfer of the celebration of World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly in the U.S. to the first weekend after Labor Day in September to coincide with National Grandparents (and the Elderly) Day in the United States as many local communities, schools, and parishes have celebrated for some time.  

The Vatican has released new resources for celebrating World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, including a message from the Holy Father and a ministry toolkit. Find Spanish Resources here.
