The World Day of Migrants and Refugees is observed annually by the Catholic Church on the last Sunday of September. This day aims to raise awareness about the challenges and hardships faced by migrants and refugees, while also promoting compassion, solidarity, and a welcoming attitude towards them.
Pope Pius X established the observance in 1914, and it has been commemorated ever since. The day highlights not only the plight of migrants and refugees but also their dignity and contributions to the countries they move to. Each year, the Pope issues a message that reflects on the ongoing migration issues globally and emphasizes the need for protection, integration, and respect for human rights.
