Abstract

The migration is as old as humanity. It can take several directions throughout history. However it will always be a stand out of the family relationships, of the birthplace, of the culture and language and even the way of living the faith. It is in this migration of the peoples that the Church mobilized itself. Using several pastorals methods it has always been present in the walk of the humanity. Advances have been noted over the centuries. It is after the Vatican II that the Church takes its face of Jesus pilgrim. It becomes migrant with the migrants. Today it is present in many faces of the migration by exchanging their welfare version for the experience of the otherness and acceptance among the people of God migrant. It is by welcoming the different that there will be the encounter with Jesus Christ.
