Image: Shutterstock World Day of Migrants and Refugees On 25 September, the Catholic Church around the world celebrates the World Day of Migrants and Refugees. On this day, we express concern for vulnerable people on the move, pray for them as they face many challenges, and increase awareness about the opportunities that migration offers. In 2022, Pope Francis invites us all to join in “Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees”. One practical step is to hold a food drive for the local refugees in our midst.
