Based on the Bishops’ Pastoral: "Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity”, Giaocchino Campese, CS, challenged dioceses and parishes to become truly “Catholic”, meaning open and inclusive and appreciative of the gifts each culture brings. Integrating (not assimilating) cultures is a very difficult process that takes time, intentionality and effective strategies.
We live in a globalized society profoundly affected by increased migration due to poverty, political strife and wars.
