His mercy is from age to age (Lk. 1:50) is the theme chosen by the Holy Father for the III World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly and for the Message, that bears the date of the Feast of the Visitation.

This year’s celebration dedicated to grandparents and the elderly will take place on Sunday, 23 July, just days before the start of World Youth Day in Lisbon.

The National Grandparents’ Pilgrimage will take place in Knock on Sunday, July 23. All are welcome for this wonderful celebration of family and faith through the generations.

The principal celebrant and homilist will be Bishop Denis Nulty, Bishop of Kildare & Leighlin and chair of the Bishops’ Council for Marriage and the Family. Music will be by the combined choirs of Knock Shrine, who will be joined by Dana for ‘Lady of Knock’ and her new hymn ‘Light the Flame’.
