6th World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly

The Church of Our Lady of Fatima warmly invites all grandparents, senior citizens, their families and parishioners to celebrate the 6th World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly on Monday, 27 July 2026.

This year’s theme, “I will never forget you” (Isaiah 49:15), reminds us of God’s unfailing love and faithfulness. Even in old age, the Lord knows each of us by name, never abandons His children, and continues to surround them with His care and mercy.

This special celebration is an opportunity to honour the invaluable presence of our grandparents and elderly, whose lives, wisdom, faith and sacrifices have enriched our families and parish community. Through prayer, the Eucharist, special blessings and fellowship, we come together to thank God for them and assure them that they remain cherished members of our Church.

The celebration will conclude with a potluck lunch, and parishioners are warmly invited to bring a signature dish to share as we celebrate together as one parish family.

We look forward to welcoming everyone for this joyful day of prayer, gratitude and fellowship.
