29 September 2019: World Day of Migrants and Refugees
This year, Pope Francis has chosen as the theme: “It is not just about migrants” to help us recognize the drama lived by each and every one of those - women, men and children - who have had to leave their country to escape violence and hunger. With all the teams of JRS (Jesuit Refugee Service) in more than fifty countries, the Society of Jesus is participating in this day of prayer and awareness.
Watch the Holy Father's message.
