Grandparents Pt2
As you know, Sunday, July 28 the Church marks the World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly. Thus, I decided to reprise a conversation I previously had with Catherine Wiley, grandmother and founder of Catholic Grandparents Association (CGA) and Marilyn Henry who coordinates CGA in the United States. (Catherine L, Marilyn R) Both women are grandmothers and both have exceptional lives and stories. As you will hear, Catherine had an idea, a dream that eventually came true with the First World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly! Such a great story of love and determination! And teamwork with Marilyn at her side. Enjoy! Heartfelt congratulations to all grandparents this weekend! Congrats also to the many senior citizens of the world who act as grandparents for the younger generations. By the way, the Apostolic Penitentiary is granting a Plenary Indulgence for the faithful who take part in the fourth World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly on July 28 under the usual conditions of sacramental Confession, reception of the Eucharist, and prayer for the intentions of the Holy Father.
