The Catholic Church will observe the fifth World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly on July 27th with the theme 'Blessed are those who have not lost hope'. The theme, taken from the Book of Sirach, encourages reflection on the hope placed in the Lord as the way to a Christian and reconciled old age. The day seeks to highlight the invaluable role grandparents and the elderly play in families and communities as signs of hope.
