     Pope Francis established that a World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly will take place each year on the 4th Sunday in July. This year, it will take place on Sunday, July 25, because it is close to the feast day of Sts. Joachim and Anne, the grandparents of Jesus. Celebrating this World Day can help us to understand that all of us, young and old, grandparents and grandchildren, whether or not we belong to the same family, are “one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call.” 
     Apostolic Penitentiary grants the plenary indulgence to those who participate in this World Day in one of three ways. This grace is granted under the normal conditions: namely, recent reception of the sacrament of confession, reception of Holy Communion, and praying according to the intentions of our Holy Father. Plenary indulgence will be granted to the elderly sick and all those who, unable to leave their homes for a serious reason, unite themselves spiritually to the sacred functions of the World Day.
