This year’s theme for the 2nd annual World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly is the Holy Father’s invitation to reconsider and value a group that is too often kept on the margins of families, civil, and ecclesial communities. Their experience of life and faith can contribute to building societies that are more aware of their roots, and capable of dreaming of a future based on greater solidarity. The invitation to listen to the wisdom of their years is also particularly significant in the context of the synodal journey we are on. The PRAYER for Grandparents is found under "Resources."

"Stella Maris" - On the second Sunday in July every year Christian communities celebrate Sea Sunday. Today we call to mind the essential work of more than a million seafarers who work on ships transporting goods around the world every day of the year. PRAYER - found under "Resources"

Please pray for our dear Pope Francis, Bishop Gary Gordon, Priests, Deacons, Religious, Lay Communities and Seminarians in the Diocese of Victoria.
