The 6th World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly will take place on Sunday 26th July, the Feast of St Joachim and St Anne, the Grandparents of Jesus. A Mass will be celebrated at 3.00 p.m. at Carfin Grotto. 

The theme chosen by Pope Leo XIV for the 6th World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly – “I will never forget you” (Is 49:15) – reminds us that God’s unwavering love is the ultimate answer to the isolation and neglect so often experienced by the elderly. It brings comfort and hope, assuring us that the Lord knows each of us personally, forgets no one, and loves us unconditionally, even through the frailties of old age.
