Grandparents Day in Malta was created on the 23rd of September 2013, by Philip M Chircop after obtaining, on this day, with the Distinguished Patronage of HE Dr George Abela, President of Malta.

The ‘Day’ is being established for the first time in Malta by “Nanniet (Grandparents) Malta,” an NGO founded by Philip Chircop, with the aim to instil in our siblings respect for our forefathers and to encourage them to look up to their Grandparents not only on this day, but throughout their lives.

‘Jum in-Nanniet’ (Grandparents Day) was celebrated for the first time this year, on Sunday, the 20th of October, when the Church celebrated Missions Sunday, also highlighting Grandparents’ Mission in the Maltese Family Life, and will continue to be celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of October, thereafter.
