The theme has been set for the 107th World Day of Migrants and Refugees to be celebrated on Sunday, September 26, 2021. Pope Francis has chosen Towards an ever wider “we” as the theme for his message this year.
It will be divided into six sub-themes and will stress the importance of being attentive to the entire human family through an inclusive Church that reaches out and is capable of creating communion in diversity. A particular focus will be care of our common home, which translates into care of our common family, care of the “we” that can, and must, become ever more open and welcoming.
To encourage adequate preparation for the celebration of this day, the Migrants and Refugees Section of the Dicastery for Integral Human Development will again conduct a communications campaign of monthly multimedia aids, information material, and reflections by theologians and experts that expand upon the theme and sub-themes chosen by the Holy Father.
The Church marked the first celebration of the World Day of Migrants and Refugees in 1914, to express support and concern for people who are forced to flee their homes, according to Vatican News.
Catholics around the world are invited to pray for refugees and migrants in their many difficulties and to learn more about the benefits which migration offers.
