A so-called "senior citizen" starts at 65, as retirement begins, and a few countries had already marked a day for the elderly before October 1991. The Catholic Church has also set a specific date as World Elderly Day, so that older people can be respected. Catechesis on community and successive generations, in collaboration with Fr.

When people receive a good education, their livelihood improves and they do more than their parents. Catechesis on the Church, the family and development, in collaboration with P. Bertrand Ratovoalinirina.
