Read out at the April 2024 Prayer Vigil at the Home Office for Victims of Global Migration
The names and details of those people who have died trying to obtain sanctuary in Europe or the UK. We share them here so as to honour their lives and mourn the injustice of their deaths. Many are unknown, but as Pope Francis said, "Everyone has a name, a face and a story". Here we mark those who died in April 2023.
Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
