Campion’s <strong>Brag</strong> Annual appeal The Campion College Refugee Bursary Pope Francis recently unveiled a new statue in St. Peter’s Square (the first in 400 years) as a testament to his concern for the plight of refugees. Called “Angels Unaware,” it depicts 140 migrants and refugees from different cultural and racial backgrounds throughout history, together on a boat with a pair of wings emerging from the centre. The wings refer to Hebrews 13:2: “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” According to the UN Refugee Agency, there were almost 26 million refugees worldwide by the end of 2018 and they estimate that 37,000 people a day are forced to flee because of conflict and persecution. Venezuela, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia… these are only a few of the countries which people have had to flee for their lives. In 2018, Canada was a world leader in welcoming these displaced people. Of the 92,400 refugees who were resettled in the world, Canada took in 28,100 – that’s about 30 per cent. These people have found a new home in our beautiful country and now they have the difficult task of rebuilding their lives. At Campion, we believe that now, more than ever, education has a part to play in their efforts to feel once again safe and an important part of our community. As Father Adolfo Nicolas, SJ so eloquently stated, “Our mission is to educate human persons with a spirit of service. Not to educate the best in the world, but to educate the best for the world.” To fulfill our mission of service, please consider giving to the Campion College Refugee Bursary so we can continue to provide an innovative, diverse, and inclusive community of learning for all who seek it.
