THE PARISH PRIEST ON THE WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND ELDERLY

Last Sunday 24th  July 2022, was the second world day for grandparents and the elderly which was instituted by Pope Francis last year 2021.

Here at Naggulu, we marked it for the first time on that day in the 10:30 AM Mass which was led by our Parish Priest, Rev.Fr. Joseph Mary Bbuye and animated by the grandparents and the elderly.

Father assured the elderly that they are never forgotten, they are always held dear in our hearts. He was delighted to meet the elderly of Naggulu Parish as a group since his appointment here. He said that he would wish to associate with them closely.

The Holy Father, Pope Francis had proposed that this day be prepared by the Youth. Here at Naggulu, our Youth Apostolate organized this day well. The Parish Priest thanked these young stars for the effort and time they committed to this day. He encouraged the youth to always respect the elderly because they (the elderly) are a source of wisdom that is not taught in school.

He promised to pray for everyone who was involved in the preparations of this world day for grandparents and the elderly.
