National Week for Life and the Family - Our Bishops on the Increase of Centenarians

Did you know? This year's National Week for Life and the Family (May 7 to 14) theme is “Grandparents and the Elderly, a Legacy to Cherish”. We asked our Archbishops (Archeparchy of Winnipeg, Archdiocese of St. Boniface and Archdiocese of Winnipeg) what they thought of the following statistic: "The number of centenarians (people aged 100 and older) is set to incline steadily over the next 80 years." How will this impact society? How is it already impacting society? How is this changing family life? How are we seeing grandparents and the elderly more in society?

Our grateful thanks to Janelle Lafantaisie, Communications coordinator at the Archdiocese of Winnipeg, for this video.
