Each parish has been called to celebrate World Day of Migrants and Refugees by Pope Francis in his message ‘Towards an ever wider We’ and Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich supports this in his letter below.

Please read the letter below with the detail of the 11.30am Mass which will be celebrated at St Alphonse and the church will be decorated with the work of a local artist.

As part of the challenge to mark the occasion there will be a collection of coloured pencils and felt-tip pens for children in refugee centres.
