The Vatican will again offer a plenary indulgence to mark the third World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly on July 23.
The indulgence can be received by grandparents, the elderly, and all Catholics who, “motivated by the true spirit of penance and charity,” participate in Pope Francis’ Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica or another Grandparents’ Day celebration, or who visit the elderly.
The theme of Grandparents’ Day comes from a verse in the Gospel of Luke: “His mercy is from age to age.”
