Migration With Dignity Sunday: February 8, 2026

The Episcopal Church adopted Migration with Dignity as a framework to guide all of its migration ministries at the 81st General Convention in 2024.

Migration With Dignity Sunday is an opportunity to learn and teach about the Migration With Dignity Principles and to include prayers for Migration With Dignity in worship.

The Episcopal Migration Caucus encourages every congregation and diocese to celebrate Migration With Dignity Sunday on a Sunday in Epiphany season. The official date of Migration With Dignity Sunday for 2026 is Sunday, February 8. It can also be observed on another Sunday in Epiphany if preferred.
