Vatican's Migrant and Refugee Section - First Media Campaign
In the lead up to the 103rd World Day for Migrants and Refugees in Italy on 15 January 2017, the Migrant and Refugee Section of the Dicastery for the Promotion of Integral Human Development launched its first media campaign to raise awareness about the issues surrounding the refugee crisis engulfing Europe over the last few years.
The Holy Father’s theme for the 2017 World Day of Migrants and Refugees is “Child Migrants, the Vulnerable and the Voiceless”. The media campaign has focused on the situation of young refugees and of migrants, displaced and trafficked children and adolescents. The media campaign will continue over the year as churches around the world celebrate World Day of Migrants locally.
For the Catholic Church in Australia, Migrant and Refugee Sunday is celebrated on the last Sunday in August; this year, 27 August 2017.
