London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, home to migrant communities who
have come to seek shelter from oppression and to improve their situation. Many of the new
migrants to our city are Catholics, and their social, pastoral and spiritual needs are made
manifest in our churches and parish communities. Many recent migrants living in London can
experience exploitation and racism. Our faith, driven by Catholic Social Teaching, demands
that we stand up and speak out as one for justice, social cohesion and for a society which
values the contribution of migrants.
