World Refugee Sunday is an opportunity for you to join other churches around the world in praying for refugees and internally displaced people. Refugee Highway Partnership Global, in partnership with Philoi Global has produced resources for your church and community to use in observing World Refugee Sunday. The dates for this year are June 15th & 22nd, 2025.
Since June 20th has been declared World Refugee Day by the United Nations, the Sunday before or immediately after June 20th was chosen as Refugee Sunday. Under the theme “I was in prison” based on Matthew 25:36. It is especially timely given the radically increased rates of detention for immigrants in North America.
