Montreal

You are warmly invited to participate in a local celebration of World Day of Migrants and Refugees on Sunday, September 29, 2024, 5:00 PM at Saint-Martyrs-du-Vietnam, 2602 rue Beaubien E. This special celebration will be led by Archbishop Christian Lépine.

The theme, "God Walks with His People," reminds us that the Lord is with those on the move, especially migrants and refugees. This day calls us to stand in solidarity with those who are forced to flee their homes due to violence, persecution, or hardship.

We encourage you to join us in this important time dedicated to reflection, prayer, and community action. Together, we can advocate for policies that respect the dignity and safety of all individuals.

Let us unite in prayer and commitment to ensure that every person is treated with compassion and justice.

We hope to see you there.

Warm regards,

 

Fr. Pierangelo Paternieri
Episcopal Vicar and Director of the Office of Cultural Communities and Rituals
