PARENTS' DAY CELEBRATED BY WFWP USA - WHAT IS PARENTS' DAY?

Parents' Day Celebration in New York City

Parents' Day was approved by the United States Congress as a national holiday to be held on the fourth Sunday in July, and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 14, 1994. The establishment of Parents' Day was the result of a bipartisan, multiracial, and interfaith coalition of religious, civic, and elected leaders who recognized the need to promote responsible parenting in our society and to uplift ideal parental role models, especially for our nation's children.

Therefore, during the month of July many WFWP state chapters held gatherings to honor parents and the role of parents.
