Migrations, Sign Of The Times is the motto chosen by Pope Benedict XVI for Emigrants' and Refugees' Day being celebrated tomorrow.

The Emigrants Commission paid tribute to Maltese emigrants all over the world. It said that the day has been celebrated in Malta since 1952 but this was the first time it was being celebrated in January. This was being done according to the wishes of the Pope.

Malta had gone through and was still going through migratory experiences. The Maltese had also, in their own country, felt and were still feeling the causes and effects of these movements, such as human trafficking.

The commission appealed to everyone to read the Pope's message with attention.
