Cancelling the Colloquium on Pastoral Care of Migrants

Dear Confreres,

My fraternal greetings and the best wishes at the beginning of this Year. I wish you and your Provinces a fruitful time of evangelization in which we can give the joy of the Gospel to our brothers.

I want to communicate that the Colloquium on the Pastoral Care of Migrants prepared by the Secretariat for Evangelization in Bochum (Germany) in May 2014, has been canceled. The reason of this decision is insufficient number of applicants who wanted to participate in it.

The Social Pastoral Commission of CRE thinks that this issue is very important for the evangelization of Europe and that this Colloquium would be very useful in our work.

The Commission will consider that situation once again and it will think about other proposals concerning the pastoral care of migrants in different time.

Once again my best wishes.

Pedro López Calvo, CSsR

The President of the Secretariat for Evangelization of CRE
