LETTER OF CONGRATULATION TO J.R.S.
Vatican City, 18
September 2007
Prot. N.3344/2007/M-R
Dear Dr. Camilleri,
Today the Dicastery received, with
pleasure, the notice of your nomination for the Nansen Refugee Award
2007. On behalf of His Eminence Cardinal Martino, who is on a journey in
Asia, and of myself with the entire community of this Pontifical
Council, united with you, we convey our profound congratulations.
The Nansen award is given to
outstanding figures and/or organisations who work for the benefit of
those who have to flee their country and calling attention to all those
whose human rights are violated. JRS has since its existence been in the
first line in the promotion of the dignity of refugees by assisting them
to restore their physical, psychological and social well-being, with
also moral and spiritual values.
I cordially express to you therefore
our gratitude for all your efforts, many times under difficult
circumstances, to improve and increase refugee admission to Malta. The
Christian witness and service your office promotes are certainly
significant. May the Lord strengthen you and your staff in this task,
and bless you all.
Thanking you once again for your
testimony, I extend to you, dear Dr. Camilleri, my kind regards and
prayerful best wishes.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
X
Agostino Marchetto,
Titular Archbishop of Astigi
Secretary
