| In 2025 Fr Khalid Marogi, the ACMRO National Director, wrote to the Australian Bishops informing them that at its May 2025 Meeting, the Bishops Commission for Evangelisation, Laity and Ministry endorsed the Pilgrimage of the Jubilee Cross. This initiative aims to offer our Catholic Church in Australia an opportunity to mark a dual celebration: the 111th Word Day of Migrants and Refugees and the Jubilee of Migrants in October 2025. It also seeks to continue acknowledging and celebrating the faith, gifts, contributions, and resilience that migrant communities bring to our local Church and the wider world. Finally, it will serve as a preparation for the 8th ACMRO National Conference in 2026, which will focus on the role of the migrant communities in a synodal Church. The Jubilee Cross is a tangible gift from migrant communities to the broader Church, symbolizing the Church as a place of refuge, welcome, integration, and solidarity. From October 2025 - October 2026 the Jubilee Cross will journey across Catholic parishes and school communities nationwide, fostering deep spiritual and communal expressions of the Jubilee Year of Hope.On the 18th of May Fr Bernard Balaraj and Fr Steve Casey from the Geraldton Diocese travelled to Perth to bring the Migrant Cross to Geraldton to begin its journey around the Diocese.
