France - Toulouse

On Sunday, January 16th , World Day of Migrants and Refugees, the diocese of Toulouse celebrated the 23rd Festival of Peoples in the fairgrounds.

1600 people from 50 nationalities gathered for a colorful Eucharistic celebration with dance and world music: a true gathering of the human family presented to her Lord. The theme of reflection invited everyone to "get out of silence, dare confidence and build solidarity. " All stories collected formed a "Family Album" that had a prominent place on the podium.
The Deanery of Colomiers-Bouconne, of which the parish of Pibrac belongs, mobilized 150 people for the success of this festival. "While our four parishes of Brax, Colomiers Léguevin and Pibrac are called to work together, this preparation was a good opportunity to know each other and discover our mutual wealth" said to the local press the Dean, Fr Jacky Moura, SCJ.
