The modern word has never seen a humanitarian crisis of this magnitude.
Millions of people have become asylum seekers, forcibly displaced persons, refugees and trafficked victims.
Let us remember that they are our brothers and sisters in Christ and they need our love, help and support.

Join us in our Events and Activities to learn and understand more about what we do and
how you can get involved even with the smallest gesture.
Pray for us all.
