CBCP observes Migrants Day

February 22, 2008

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) led the observance of National Migrants Sunday Celebration on Feb. 10. The CBCP said recently that they would be shifting their attention to the children of migrant workers, many of whom experience a difficult adjustment when they are reunited with their parents who were working abroad. In celebration of National Migrants Sunday, the CBCP said in its website cbcpnews.com that they would provide assistance to the children of migrant workers who have been petitioned by their parents. The CBCP-Episcopal Commission for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People (ECMI) said they would carefully study the situation of the young migrants and create public awareness of their condition.
