2025 National Migration Week: September 22-28

Every year the World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR) is celebrated on the last Sunday of September, but this year the WDMR will be celebrated on 4 and 5 October, which coincides with the Jubilee of Migrants. As the title for his annual message, the Holy Father chose “Migrants, missionaries of hope”. The US Catholic Church sponsored National Migration Week will also use this theme as the basis for its celebration and will be, as is the norm, celebrated the last full week of September (September 22-28).

We will be sure to update this page as we draw nearer to these important celebrations and will highlight the full WDMR message once it is released by the Vatican.
