Catholics can obtain a plenary indulgence by visiting an elderly person on the second World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly taking place on Sunday, July 24th.
A decree issued by the Apostolic Penitentiary on May 30 said that the indulgence is available “to the faithful who devote adequate time to visit, in presence or virtually, through the media, their elderly brothers and sisters in need or in difficulty” on July 24.
The indulgence can also be gained by Catholics present at a solemn commemoration of the annual event by Pope Francis that day or at celebrations around the world.
