"ROAD MAP" FOR PASTORAL CARE OF MIGRANTS IN EUROPE
Vatican City, 29 November 2012 (VIS) – The meeting of the “Caritas
in Veritate” Commission of the Council of European Episcopal Conferences
(CCEE), held in Rome on the theme of “A Pastoral of Communion for a
Renewed
Evangelisation” concluded today with the presentation of a “road
map” by the Section for pastoral care of migrants.
The conference was held over three days, from 27 to 29 November, during which
more than forty bishops and national directors for the pastoral care of
migrants from the CCEE discussed the role of the Church in Europe in this
field. “The economic
crisis affects the weak and migrants above all. Those who are forced to
migrate due to poverty are the first to suffer the consequences of the crisis
and become even more vulnerable”, explained Fr. Duarte da Cunha,
secretary general of the CCEE.
“The pastoral care of the Church, which aims to evangelise but also to
create communities, is called upon to assist in integration, to reinforce
links, and to accompany and support both those who are left behind, such as
children left by parents
who emigrate in search of work, and those who leave”.
The meeting of the Commission was opened by Cardinal Antonio Maria Veglio,
president of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and
Itinerant Peoples, Cardinal Josip Bozanic, archbishop of Zagreb, Croatia,
president of the
“Migration” section of “Caritas in Veritate”,
Archbishop Giampaolo Crepaldi of Trieste, Italy, president of the same
Commission, and Bishop Paolo Schiavon, auxiliary of Rome and president of the
“Migrantes”
Foundation.
The themes considered during the conference included “Witnessing
ecclesiastical communion for a new evangelisation”, presented by
Archbishop Salvatore Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for
Promoting the New Evangelisation;
“Communion and pastoral care: an outlook from the Eastern Catholic
Churches”, presented by Archbishop Cyril Vasil S.J., secretary for the
Congregation for the Oriental Churches; “Guidelines for a pastoral
theology of communion
regarding migrations” by Fr. Fabio Baggio, Director of the Scalibrini
International Migration Institute, and “New evangelisation and human
mobility”, by Msgr. Giancarlo Perego, director-general of the
“Migrantes”
Foundation.
“In this time of economic crisis, social assistance, pastoral care and
evangelisation cannot be separated”, Fr. Duarte da Cunha continued.
“Charity, political lobbying, proclamation and celebration of the faith
are a unified commitment
and the only path of action, especially for those who assist and support the
reception and integration of migrants in Europe”.
