Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants
A Day of Prayer for Refugees and Migrants was established by the New Zealand Catholic Bishops Conference to fall as close as possible each year to World Refugee Day. This year, the Day of Prayer coincides with World Refugee Day on Sunday 20 June, which has the theme of “home”.
Caritas resources prepared for this year focus on the reunification of refugee families – "finding home and belonging".
Caritas has sent resources to Catholic parishes throughout the country - reflection and prayers. They are also available here:
