Marseille, city welcoming exiles

The fight against the tiger mosquito in France

Since last weekend, Marseille has been hosting the Mediterranean Meetings, which bring together bishops and young people from around the Mediterranean. Pope Francis, visiting the Marseille city on September 22, will close this event. The conditions were ripe to devote this trip to the migration issue. A theme that is dear to the sovereign pontiff, he who regularly denounces indifference to the tragedies of migration in the Mediterranean. He should once again call for a better reception of these exiles who risked their lives to make it better. This is the whole meaning of the mission of JRS, Jesuit Refugee Service, an international Catholic association.

Pope Francis will visit Marseille from September 22, 2023.
