“In old age they will still bear fruit” (Ps 92:15)

On Sunday, July 24, 2022, the Second World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly will be celebrated throughout the universal Church.

The theme chosen by the Holy Father for the occasion is “In old age they will still bear fruit” (Psalm 92:15) and intends to emphasize how grandparents and the elderly are a value and a gift both for society and for ecclesial communities.

The Holy Father’s letter for today can be found here: Pope’s Letter

There is also a lovely prayer for grandparents and the elderly which can be found here: Prayer for Grandparents and the Elderly

We too remember all of our grandparents and those wise heads who have guided and supported us.

Thank you again to all who took part.

The Scottish dioceses will now bring together their various reports to synthesise them into a document that they hope will reflect Scotland as a whole.
