All dioceses, parishes and ecclesial communities are called to celebrate this Day, whose theme is "In old age they will still bear fruit" (Ps. 92:15). All dioceses around the world are invited to celebrate the Day with a liturgy dedicated to the elderly. There are two main ways to participate in the Day, suggested by the Dicastery for Laity, Family and Life: by celebrating a Mass or by visiting the elderly alone - 'visiting the elderly who live alone is a work of mercy in our time.' Pope Francis established in 2021 that this Day will be celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of July, around the feast of St. Joachim and St. Anne, the “grandparents” of Jesus. This year it will take place on July 24. On the same day, the Pope begins an apostolic journey to Canada.

En effet, il y a deux façons principales de participer à la Journée, suggérées par le Dicastère pour les Laïcs, la Famille et la Vie: en célébrant une messe ou en rendant visite aux personnes âgées seules. Le pape François a établi, en 2021, que cette Journée sera célébrée chaque année le quatrième dimanche de juillet, autour de la fête des saints Joachim et Anne, grands-parents de Jésus. Cette année, elle est célébrée le 24 juillet. Le même jour, le Pape commencera un voyage apostolique au Canada.
