The Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development has published two reports on the pastoral care of migrants in Europe and in Africa. Rooted in the Message of the Holy Father for the 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, “Migrants, Missionaries of Hope,” the documents provide a selection of good practices that were developed by dioceses, parishes, religious congregations, and Catholic organizations, with a focus on the initiatives of 2025.
These examples demonstrate how the four verbs “welcome, protect, promote and integrate” can be applied concretely to different migration contexts, from borders to local communities.
