106th World Day of Migrants and Refugees Sunday, September 27th
The Church has been celebrating the World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR) since 1914. It is always an occasion to express concern for different vulnerable people on the move; to pray for them as they face many challenges; and to increase awareness about the opportunities that migration offers. As the title for his annual message, the Holy Father has chosen "Forced like Jesus Christ to flee" to focus on the pastoral care of internally displaced people (IDPs). Download the Pope's Message for the 2020 WDMR in the language of your choice.
Born in Syria is a "wrenching documentary, which traces the journeys of seven child refugees being moved across Europe in search of a new life." St. James Cathedral Immigrant Assistance recommends watching Born in Syria to see what it means to be a refugee as a child. Please join us for a discussion on this documentary, the state of migration around the world, and what you can do right now to help refugees.
