N. 2/2021 Dear friends! With this second issue of the Laityfamilylife Newsletter, our Dicastery is glad to share with you all the resources and pastoral materials produced over the last two months. Among these, you will find documents available of the International Forum "Where are we with Amoris Laetitia?" and resources of the First World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly. Together with the Diocese of Rome, we would also like to present the official Image, Logo and Prayer for the upcoming World Meeting of Families scheduled for June 2022.  On this occasion, the Dicastery reminds all diocesan groups, parishes, family movements and associations throughout the world that participation in Rome will be limited to National Episcopal Conference delegations and to delegates of international family movements, due to pandemic restrictions. These delegations will consist of a limited number of people, which will be communicated to the Bishops' Conferences and Movements. Everyone, however, is invited by Pope Francis to take up this occasion and have an active part in the diocesan meetings which, simultaneously and at a local level, will be organised for families, pastoral agents and communities.   NEWS 1st World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly, 25 July 2021 For many of the 2,000 Elderly people present in St. Peter's last Sunday, celebrating the first World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly was the first opportunity to leave the forced isolation they have been living in since March 2020 due to pandemic.
