On September 24 we celebrated the 42nd anniversary of T&T’s gaining Republican status. On the evening of Wednesday, September 19, I attended a gala concert, titled ‘A Cultural Exchange Experience’, by the renowned Chinese traditional orchestra of the China National Opera & Dance Drama Theatre, and the National Steel Symphony Orchestra of Trinidad and Tobago, at NAPA.

Before the performances commenced, the National Anthems of China and of T&T were played. Standing in front of me was a Chinese couple who sang lustily when both anthems were played. I was reminded of the pride that many of us whose forebears came to T&T have in our diverse heritage.

Progress on Parish Ministries for Migrants and Refugees

by Leela Ramdeen, Chair, CCSJ and Director, CREDI

“The Church is ever mindful that Jesus Christ was himself a refugee, that as a child he had to flee with his parents from his native land in order to escape persecution. In every age, therefore, the Church feels herself called to help refugees.” – St Pope John Paul II, 1981.

Today, let’s reflect on the progress that is being made in parishes to launch/implement a Parish Ministry for Migrants and Refugees.

The Committee that Archbishop Jason established in May—the Archdiocesan Ministry for Migrants and Refugees (AMMR), has been working diligently to support parishes as they launch their Parish Ministries for Migrants and Refugees (PMMR), seeking to strengthen the capacity of Catholics in our Archdiocese and by extension, the wider community, to welcome, protect, promote, and integrate migrants and refugees in T&T.
