Refugee Week 18th-24th June

Did you know
  • More people are on the move now than ever before. Every minute, 20 people around the world are newly displaced 
  • Half of the world's refugees are children and thousands  take flight without the protection of parents or other family members
  • Three out of four of the World's Refugees are hosted by developing countries.

Pope Francis 
"calls us to act in solidarity with refugees and migrants. Every human being is a child of God, created in God's image and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect". 
How can we respond to Pope Francis' call to embrace refugees?
One way we can respond is to support Pope Francis' Share the Journey Global Campaign
