World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2017

Published on January 12, 2017

Migrants leave their homes in search of a better life and face the difficult experience of migration in its various forms.

The theme chosen by Pope Francis for the upcoming World Day of Migrants and Refugees is “Minor migrants, vulnerable and voiceless.”

As Christians, we are called to reach out to and pray for all migrants to emphasize the unity of the human family and the values of acceptance,

hospitality and love of neighbour. 

On January 15, 2017, the 103rd World Day of Migrants and Refugees Mass will be celebrated at the 12pm Mass in the Cathedral. All are welcome to remember those who have left our shores and those who have come.
