Each year, the world observes World Day of Migrants and Refugees on the last Sunday in September. Celebrated by the Catholic Church since 1914, WDMR is now a day designated annually by the United Nations to commemorate and honor people who have been forced to flee their homes, people who have escaped conflict, seen adversity, and, against all odds, forged their way to restart their lives far away from their homes. This day recognizes the courage and fortitude of people on the move and serves to heighten our level of empathy and understanding of their plight and a recognition of the difficult decisions many immigrants have had to make to survive. Read the reflections of Martha Rubiano Skretteberg, the Secretary General of Caritas Norway, on WDMR and on “Bringing Societies Together in Time of Crisis” here.
