WORLD DAY OF MIRANTS & REFUGEES - SEPTEMBER 29 The theme announced by His Holiness Pope Francis for the 105th World Day of Migrants and Refugees is "It is not Just About Migrants." In his message, Pope Francis reminds us that "the presence of migrants and refugees, is an invitation to recover some of those essential dimensions of our Christian existence and our humanity that risk being overlooked in a prosperous society. That is why it is not just about migrants. 'For if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?' (Matt: 5:46)."
