Saint Ann’s will host Ruth Anne White, Executive Director of Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Wilmington to speak about POWIR -Parishes Organized to Welcome Immigrants and Refugees. The presentation will take place in Delaney Hall. We invite you to brown bag your lunch, if you wish, and enjoy it as presentation is given. Refreshments will be provided. This presentation will be one way in which we can honor the 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees.
“Migrants, missionaries of hope” is the theme chosen by Pope Francis for the 111th World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR). Published in the Bulletin of the Holy See, the theme considers the courage and tenacity of migrants and refugees in the light of the current Jubilee. They bear witness to hope for the future despite borders that leads them to entrust them- selves totally to God. This year, on the Jubilee of Migrants, the WDMR will take place on 4 and 5 October, according to the Jubilee programme. (Additional information may be found on the USCCB and Vatican Websites)
