World Day of Migrants and Refugees Online Event Thursday 25th September 6pm-7.30pm on Zoom
- “…I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” (Matthew 25:35)
This Jubilee year, Pope Francis chose “Migrants, missionaries of hope” as the theme for the 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees.
As the Season of Creation draws to a close, join our speakers from Caritas, CAFOD and the Ecological Conversion Group for an online event exploring how we can respond in faith to the challenges of forced migration, rooted in politics, conflict and climate change.Speakers:
- John Paul de Quay (Ecological Conversion Group) – on how our daily choices connect to environmental destruction, instability and migration.
- Richard Sloman (CAFOD, Bangladesh) – on projects supporting vulnerable Bangladeshi migrants facing exploitation.
- Alex Miranda (Caritas Plymouth) – on Love the Stranger, the Bishops’ blueprint for a faith-based welcome to those fleeing persecution and poverty.
Together we will explore how Catholic parishes can be catalysts for positive change, welcoming the stranger and promoting the common good.
