Growing together as humanity

In the new video released ahead of the 108th World Day of Migrants and Refugees, Pope Francis invites us to grow together as humanity by promoting the cultural and spiritual contribution of migrants and refugees to communities welcoming them.

Together with the Holy Father, Bertrand Gorge from France explains how his family has been enriched by the presence of refugees by opening the doors of their home to welcome them and sharing part of their lives with them.

Exploitation of migrant workers

The new Bulletin from the Vatican COVID-19 Commission looks at solutions that might help build a new future for work, offering decent and dignified working conditions, in which the most vulnerable are not left behind.

It calls for a future that strives to provide proper work everywhere, for those staying in their homeland and for newcomers too. It hopes for a world where all workers are treated equally, without discrimination or exploitation and with due regard for their rights.

Parish Picnic with Seasonal Workers

All Saints Catholic Church in Port Augusta celebrated a Mass for seasonal workers who have been working tirelessly for more than two years away from their family.

The Mass was followed by lunch, which was attended by people of 12 different nationalities in the community.
