Sixth World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, 26th July

The Sixth World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly will take place on the 26th July 2026.

The theme chosen by Pope Leo XIV for the 6th World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly – "I will never forget you” (Isaiah 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.
