Column - On September 24, 2023, the 109th World Day of Migrants and Refugees will be celebrated. World Migrant and Refugee Day was established by the Catholic Church in 1914 and takes place every year on the last Sunday in September. This year, Pope Francis has given his message the theme: "Free to choose to emigrate or to stay", which he dedicates to the freedom "that should always characterize the decision to leave one's own country".
