Pope Francis today (January 31, 2021) instituted a "World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly" in the Roman Catholic Church to be marked once a year to honor them and to underscore their importance to society, according to the Reuters website.
Francis said it would be marked on the fourth Sunday of July each year in Catholic communities around the world.
The Catholic Church already has a World Day of Peace, which Pope Paul instituted in 1967, a World Day of Youth, which Pope John Paul II established in 1984, and a World Day of the Poor, which Francis started in 2017.
