World Day of Migrants and Refugees
2026-09-29
Each year, the World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR) asks Catholics worldwide to remember those displaced by conflict and persecution. God walks with his people is the theme chosen by Pope Francis for his message for WDMR, which will be celebrated on September 29th. The Holy Father reminds us that “all of us, God’s people, are migrants on this earth, on our way to the ‘true homeland’, the Kingdom of Heaven.” Members are invited to pray for migrants and refugees and all displaced persons, mindful of the corporal works of mercy, which are tangible ways of being united with their suffering.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt Day)
2026-09-30
In his pilgrimage to Canada in July 2022, Pope Francis described his apostolic journey to Canada as a “penitential pilgrimage.” He began his message at Maskwacis by saying, “I have come to your native lands to tell you in person of my sorrow, to implore God’s forgiveness, healing and reconciliation, to express my closeness and to pray with you and for you.”
The Catholic Women’s League of Canada is committed to healing and reconciliation, expressed by its document of resources titled “Walking Together with Indigenous Catholic Women.” Members are encouraged to pray the attached prayer and to express their solidarity.
