Pope Leo XIV issues message for 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV released a message for the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, scheduled for Sunday, September 27, 2026. The theme, "Even one of these children," directs attention to minors involved in migration and fleeing displacement.

The Pope noted that millions of children and adolescents are forced to leave their homes due to war, poverty, violence, and environmental disasters. He stated that these minors are the most vulnerable people in global migration flows and often face suffering from losing family members or witnessing violence.

The message calls for protecting the rights and dignity of young migrants to prevent social isolation and radicalization. The Pope urged for measures to reunite families and to prevent the trauma caused by forced repatriation. He also called for a shift in perspective that places the best interests and dignity of every child at the center of migration responses.
