As the National Youth Office of Uganda Episcopal Conference (UEC) continues to promote and implement the campaign of Pope Francis “The Elderly are our Grandparents”, we are again blessed with another important global event in the Pastoral Care for the Elderly; “The World Day for the Grandparents and the Elderly” officiated by His Holiness, Pope Francis on 25th July, 2021 in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome and celebrated throughout the world.

 Guided by the theme “I am with you always” (Mt 28:20), the young people of Uganda joined the rest of the world in commemorating this great day in the lives of their grandparents and the elderly. In collaboration with the Diocesan Youth Offices, a National Charity Week in support of the Elderly and Grandparents was organized from 19th to 24th July 2021. The young people from the 19 Catholic Dioceses; Youth Movements and Associations were encouraged to offer psychosocial support, prayer and carry other forms of charity within their families and the Small Christian Communities (SCC).  Download
