Migrant & Refugee Sunday - 28 August
How will your parish, school or community celebrate Migrant and Refugee Sunday? The Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office has produced a kit full of useful resources to assist you. It contains Pope Francis' Message for the World Day of Migration and a message from Bishop Long, who himself arrived in Australia as a "boat person," and reflections on the implications of the Year of Mercy for policy and action.
The Migrant & Refugee Sunday 2016 Kit can be downloaded from the recently revamped ACMRO website.
