Pope Leo XIV highlights plight of migrant minors
In brief
Pope Leo XIV released a message for the 112th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, focusing on the vulnerability of children and young people affected by migration and forced displacement. The Pope noted that minors represent the most vulnerable group in global migration movements and described them as individuals with unique stories who call on the conscience of others.
The theme for the upcoming observance on Sunday, September 27, centers on the biblical passage Matthew 18:10. Through this theme, the Pope invites Catholics and people of goodwill to recognize the dignity of migrant children, listen to their stories, and respond with compassion and solidarity.
