La Commissione era stata istituita da Paolo VI, il 19 marzo 1970, con il Motu Proprio Apostolicae Caritatis.2 Quell’organismo ereditava, tra altri, anche i compiti dell’Ufficio Migrazione, stabilito in duplice sezione presso la Segreteria di Stato, nel 1946, e l’Uffi- cio del Delegato per le opere d’emigrazione, creato dalla Costituzione Apostolica Exsul Familia, del primo agosto 1952.3 Questo, a sua volta, aveva preso il posto dell’Ufficio del Prelato per l’emigrazione italiana, costituito con una Notificazione della Concistoriale del 23 Ottobre 1920,4 sotto il pontificato di Benedetto XV. Prima ancora, San Pio X aveva creato presso la Concistoriale l’Ufficio Speciale per l’Emigrazione con il Motu Proprio Cum Omnes Catholicos, del 5 Agosto 1912.5 Ma l’intuizione di istituire un organismo unitario e centrale per l’assistenza ai migranti di ogni nazionalità risale al Beato Vescovo Giovanni Battista Scalabrini. Egli ne espose il progetto a San Pio X in una lettera del 22 luglio 1904 e, più dettagliatamente, in un memoriale del 4 maggio 1905.6 Nell’arco di questa appassionante storia, la Rivista “On the Move. Migrazioni e turismo” uscì con il suo primo numero nel mese di settembre 1971 e mantenne tale tito- lo fino al numero 47. Con il numero 48, edito nel mese di luglio 1987, cambiò formato e veste tipografica e assunse il titolo che ancora porta attualmente, “People on the Move”, con il desiderio di continuare a “provvedere, nelle misure consentite, al bene spirituale della gente che, ad onde incalzanti, si muove sulle strade del mondo”.7 1 AAS LXXX (1988) 841-930. 2 AAS LXII (1970) 193-197. 3 AAS XLIV (1952) 649-704. 4 Notificazione Esistono in Italia, in AAS XII (1920) 534-535. 5 AAS IV (1912) 526-527. 6 Archivio Generale Scalabriniano 3020/1. 7 C.

Oggi si stima che vi siano circa 232 milioni di migranti internazionali, cioè il 3% della popolazione mondiale, in aumento rispetto al 2005, quando il numero raggiungeva i 191 milioni, nonostante gli effetti della crisi mondiale. Oltre ai migranti internazionali, si calcola che il numero di quelli interni si aggiri attorno ai 740 milioni di perso- ne. Sommando le due cifre, risulta che circa un miliardo di esseri umani, cioè un settimo della popolazione globale, sperimenta oggi la sorte migratoria. Nell’elenco dei dieci Paesi da cui parte il maggior numero di migranti internazionali, il Messico è il primo della lista con cir- ca 12.930.000 persone emigrate, seguito dall’India (11.810.000) e dalla Federazione Russa (11.260.000). Cina, Bangladesh e Ucrai- na seguono nella graduatoria, rispettivamente con 8.440.000, 6.480.000 e 6.450.000 persone emigrate. Il settimo posto della classifica è occupato dai territori palestinesi con 5.740.000 mi- granti, tenendo in conto che le statistiche delle Nazioni Unite registrano come migranti non soltanto i profughi Palestinesi, ma anche i loro discendenti. In coda, vi sono il Regno Unito con 5.010.000 persone, le Filippine con 4.630.000 persone e il Pakistan con 4.480.000 persone. Tra i primi dieci Paesi preferiti dai migranti come meta del loro “viaggio della speranza”, il primo posto spetta agli Stati Uniti d’America con 42.810.000 immigrati, seguito dalla Federa- zione Russa (12.270.000), Germania (10.760.000), Arabia Saudita (7.290.000) e Canada (7.200.000). Gli Stati Uniti d’America, dun- que, ospitano più immigrati di Russia, Germania, Arabia Saudita e Canada messi insieme. Gli ultimi posti nell’elenco sono occu- pati da quattro Paesi europei: Francia (6.680.000), Regno Unito (6.450.000), Spagna (6.380.000) e Ucraina (5.260.000), che chiude la lista. L’India compare al nono posto con 5.440.000 immigrati. Sommando queste cifre, i primi dieci Paesi preferiti come desti- 6 People on the Move ~ n. 120 nazione migratoria ospitano circa 110 milioni di migranti, cioè più del 50% del numero totale dei migranti internazionali. Per quanto riguarda, poi, l’immigrazione irregolare, si stima che ne sia coinvolto almeno il 15% della popolazione migrante totale, purtroppo spesso alimentando un “mercato parallelo” di tratta e traffico di esseri umani (trafficking e smuggling), frequen- temente gestito

Their residence is concentrated mainly in the southern Brazil region, the former provinces (and today states) of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul regions. These areas were to large extent a demographic vacuum when Brazil began its history as a nation in 1822, but now include the foci of some of this huge country’s most dynamic economies. Polish immigration played a major role in adding new elements to Brazilian culture in many different ways. The geography of some of these elements forms the core of the thesis. At the heart of this work lies an examination of cultural identity shifts from past to present. This is demonstrated through a rural-urban case study that analyzes the impacts of geography, cultural identity, and the environment.

  • Polish Migrant Families' Practice of First Communion and Negotiation
    Central and Eastern European Migration Review Received: 30 April 2017, Accepted: 7 May 2018 Published online: 13 June 2018 Vol. 7, No. 2, 2018, pp. 165–183 doi: 10.17467/ceemr.2018.03 ‘White Dress, Guests and Presents’: Polish Migrant Families’ Practice of First Communion and Negotiation of Catholic Identities in Wales Aleksandra Kaczmarek-Day* This article examines how migration to Wales modifies Polish Catholic families’ religious practices. It focuses on how the First Communion ceremony is performed. Within the Polish migrant community I witnessed three distinct ways of arranging this. Some families travelled to Poland to their parish churches of origin. Of those who celebrated it in Wales, some did so in a Polish church, others in their children’s Catholic school’s church. These choices had different effects. Holding First Communion in Poland confirmed children’s Polish identity and home-country bonds. It exemplified both the fluidity of the families’ intra-European migration experience and the strength of transnational networking. Hold- ing it in the local Polish parish reinforced both families’ and childrens’ identification as Polish Catho- lics. In the school’s church, it strengthened migrant families’ negotiations of belonging and their children’s integration into the Welsh locality. Mothers’ active involvement in all settings led some to contest Polish religious customs and revealed emerging identifications related to children’s wellbeing and belonging. Unlike arrangements traditional in Poland, families’ religious practices in Wales seem to have become more individual, less collective. Keywords: Polish migrants; Wales; mothers; Catholic identity; First Communion ritual Introduction In this age of migration, migrants’ religious affiliations help our understanding of their integration processes and interactions with local populations (Saunders, Fiddian-Qasmiyeh and Snyder 2016).

  • Polonia Restituta
    Pease CH1:Pease CH1 9/15/09 11:31 AM Page 1 1 | | | Polonia Restituta The Catholic Church and the Revival of Poland The formal resumption of Polish statehood in modern times began in church. On February 9, 1919 , not quite three months after its in - ception, the government of the fledgling Second Polish Republic marked the convocation of its first parliament, or Sejm, in Warsaw with an inaugu - ral Roman Catholic high mass, reviving the custom of the bygone common - wealth of Poland-Lithuania before its partition and subjection to foreign rule for a century and a quarter. In its form and dramatis personae, this cere - mony vividly asserted the prominence of the Roman confession in national life and tradition, as well as its intimate association with the temporal power. At the hour of eleven that Sunday morning, Chief of State J ózef Pi łsudski entered the crowded nave of St. John Cathedral, thus sparing himself the sight of the incongruous nineteenth-century facade that defaced the Gothic antiquity of this oldest church of the capital. He began a procession down the aisle toward the altar, followed in turn by the prime minister, Ignacy Jan Paderewski, and his cabinet; the papal emissary to the country, Monsignor Achille Ratti, who would become pope himself three years later almost to the day; the assembled Catholic hierarchs of restored Poland; and finally the celebrant, the archbishop of Warsaw, Aleksander Kakowski. The solemni - ties reached their emotional peak when the lawmakers heard a patriotic ser - mon from one of their own, the Armenian-rite archbishop of Lw ów J ózef Teodorowicz, the most senior of thirty-two deputies who wore the collar, one-twelfth of the membership of the body.

  • Rev. Dr. Edmund Nowicki – Apostolic Administrator in Gorzów Wielkopolski
    Studia Theologica Varsaviensia UKSW 2/2019 rev. GrzeGorz wejMan ReV. DR. EDMUND NOWICKi – APostolIC ADMINIstRatoR IN GoRZÓW WIelKOPolsKI IntroDUction Protonotary Apostolic Rev. dr. Edmund Nowicki of the archdiocese of Gniezno and Poznań was deeply attached to the city of Gorzów Wielkopolski through his priestly ministry, and to the city of Gdańsk through his episcopal ministry. Work in the Apostolic Administration in Gorzów Wielkopolski was particularly difficult for him. A huge area – 1/7 of the territory of Poland, lack of basic pastoral tools and obstructions created by the then state authorities caused extremely big problems with building the foundations of pastoral life in the church newly-created in this land. Still, his fortitude, solid theological and legal background, as well as personal sensitivity bore the expected fruit of the well-functioning apostolic administration. Three major publications were published on the life and activity of Edmund Nowicki. In 1998 Rev. Stanisław Bogdanowicz pub- lished a book entitled “Edmund Nowicki, the bishop of Gdańsk”. Collective work edited by Rev. Henryk Jankowski entitled “Bishop Edmund Nowicki 1956-1971” was published in 1996 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of death of the bishop of Gdańsk. The main item is the doctoral thesis of Rev. Edward Napierała entitled “Historia Administracji Apostolskiej w Gorzowie Wlkp. za rządów ks. dr. 72 Stanisław MŁYNARSKI [2] Edmunda Nowickiego (1945-1951)”, gives an account of the birth and development of the administration in Gorzów1. This paper presents the most important pastoral achievements of Rev. Edmund Nowicki in the perspective of his appointment as the apostolic administrator and his organizational, pastoral and personal ministry in Gorzów Wielkopolski summed up with the most important events in his life of a priest and a bishop.
