Pope Leo XIV announces theme for National Migration Week

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV announced the theme for National Migration Week as “Even just one of these children,” a reference to Matthew 18:5. The Vatican stated the Pope chose this theme to express the Church's concern for minors involved in migration and to recall the duty to welcome them.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops scheduled the week for Sept. 21–27, concluding with the World Day of Migrants and Refugees on Sept. 27. In the Diocese of Camden, the Christ Our Light Catholic Community in Cherry Hill will host a prayer evening for migrants and refugees on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. featuring speakers Julie Moreno and Sister Bonnie McMenamin, SSJ.

Saint Thomas More Church in Cherry Hill will hold an evening of prayer, reflection, and personal testimony on Sept. 24 from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Bishop Joseph Williams will attend the gathering.
