Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV has released a message for the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, scheduled for Sunday, September 27, 2026. The theme, "Even just one of these children," focuses on the vulnerability of minors who are forced to leave their homes due to war, poverty, violence, and environmental disasters.

The Pope notes that millions of children and adolescents are displaced annually and calls on the conscience of the faithful to recognize their unique stories and needs. The message serves as an invitation for parishes to celebrate the liturgy on Sunday with a focus on reflection and fraternity regarding migrants.
