Pope sets date to honour forgotten grandparents and elders by The Associated Press Last Updated Jan 31, 2021 at 9:58 am EDT VATICAN CITY Pope Francis has established an annual date to honour grandparents and other elders, lamenting that they are often forgotten despite the wisdom they have to offer society. Francis on Sunday announced that every year, on the fourth Sunday of July, the Roman Catholic Church will pay tribute to older adults who have “thoughts and words of wisdom” to offer. This year, Francis will celebrate a special Mass in honour of them on the evening of July 25, pandemic restrictions permitting, the Vatican said. In customary Sunday noon remarks, Francis noted that each year on July 26, the church honours Saints Anne and Joachim, the parents of Jesus’ mother, Mary.
