World Day of Migrants & Refugees, September 29th

World Refugee & Migrant Day 2024

"God Walks With His People"

The theme of Pope Francis' Message for the World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2024 is: "God walks with His people".

The 110th World Day of Migrants and Refugees will be celebrated on Sunday, September 29, 2024.

The Holy Father's Message focuses on the itinerant dimension of the Church, with special attention to migrant brothers and sisters, who are a contemporary icon of the Church on the move.

Pope Francis' suggestion is a journey to be made together, synodally, overcoming every obstacle and threat, in order to reach the true homeland. Along the way, wherever one finds oneself, it is essential to recognize the presence of God who walks with his people, giving them guidance and protection at every step. 

Therefore, the starting point is to recognize the Lord present in his people, the Emmanuel who, in every migrant, knocks at the door of our heart and offers himself for the encounter.
