Pope calls on every parish in Europe to take in one migrant family each
Quote:
As thousands of refugees pour into Europe, Pope Francis has called on every parish and religious community to take in one family each.
He said the Vatican state would set the example, with its two parishes each taking in a family of refugees in the coming days.
There are more than 25,000 parishes in Italy alone, and some 12,000 in Germany, where many refugees fleeing war and hardship in the Middle East hope to end up.
“Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees, the Gospel calls us and asks us to show solidarity to the most vulnerable and those who have been abandoned — to give them a real hope,” Pope Francis said after his Sunday address in the Vatican.
The crowd in St. Peter’s Square applauded the pontiff, himself the son of Italian emigrants to Argentina, as he said: “Every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary of Europe, take in one family.”

Germany Says It Can Sustain 500,000 Asylum Seekers Every Year
German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel says the country is economically strong enough to grant the asylums
German officials say the country is prepared to sustain a steady stream of asylum seekers from war-torn countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa over the long-term.
Thousands of migrants and refugees have sought reprieve in European countries over the past year, traveling from Turkey to Greece and spreading across the European Union. Germany alone is expecting 800,000 people to seek asylum this year, four times the number from 2014, according to BBC News.
