WORLD DAY OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES 2024
"God walks with His people", is the title chosen by Pope Francis for his Message for the upcoming World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR), which will be celebrated on Sunday, September 29, 2024.
In this message, the Holy Father reminds us that all of us, God's people, are migrants on this earth, on our way to the "true homeland", the Kingdom of Heaven. Migrants are a contemporary icon of this people on a journey, of the Church on a journey, and at the same time, it is in them and in all our vulnerable brothers and sisters that we can encounter the Lord who walks with us.
Here you'll find Pope Francis' video message and resources for the day.
In preparation for the special day, the Dicastery has launched a communication campaign and the first video of a series is available on the media channel, YouTube.
"MARY, THE SAINTS AND SCRIPTURE" WEBINAR SERIES
The CCCB Ad hoc Committee for the Preparation for the Jubilee 2025 is hosting a two-part series titled, "A Great Symphony of Prayer" which will enable the faithful one meaningful way to participate in the Year of Prayer which was announced by Pope Francis on 21 January 2024.
