Forced like Jesus Christ to flee: To be close in order to serve
“Fears and prejudices – a lot of prejudices - cause us to keep our distance from others and often prevent us from getting close to Jesus Christ and serving Him with love.” Pope Francis
Tijan is from Sierra Leone, he was 6 when he became a displaced person...
Pope Francis has selected “Forced like Jesus Christ to flee” as the theme for the 106 th World Migrant and Refugee Day (WMRD) which will be celebrated on Sunday, September 27, 2020. His reflections originate in the experience of Jesus Christ and his parents as displaced persons and refugees.

Select Payment Method
Pay by bank transfer
If you wish to make a donation by direct bank transfer please contact Fr Paul Hamill SJ treasurer@jesuits.africa. Fr Paul will get in touch with you about the best method of transfer for you and share account details with you. Donations can be one-off gifts or of any frequency; for example, you might wish to become a regular monthly donor of small amounts; that sort of reliable income can allow for very welcome forward planning in the development of the Society’s works in Africa and Madagascar.
Often it is easier to send a donation to an office within your own country and Fr Paul can advise on how that might be done. In some countries this kind of giving can also be recognised for tax relief and the necessary receipts will be issued.
