On July 31, 2021, Pope Francis announced a World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly to be celebrated every year on the fourth Sunday in July to honor all grandparents and the elderly who are so important to our communities and our Church. This new celebration will always fall near the Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne (July 26), the grandparents of Jesus.

On the weekend of July 24 & 25, 2021
We will celebrate Mass and give a blessing to all Grandparents and the Elderly

"I am with you Always" (Mt 28:20) this is the promise the Lord made to his disciples before He ascended into heaven. They are the words that he repeats to you today, dear grandfathers and grandmothers, dear elderly friend.
"I am with you always"....
