His Eminence Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Secretary of State to His Holiness Pope Francis joined representatives of the International Catholic Migration Commission (ICMC) from around the world at the 6-8 March Council Plenary Meeting in Rome.

In his opening remarks, Cardinal Parolin stated:

“In these days you will have the opportunity to review the path you travelled and consider how the ICMC can continue the work for which it was founded, a work that we have already seen honored by a fruitful commitment, which now asks you to be open to new horizons of service to migrants and refugees. As Pope Francis always reminds us, they are not numbers; they are people, women, men, children, who have a face, who often suffer and are discarded.”
