This paper includes descriptions of the historical link between religion and the immigrants’ culture and mobility, key issues in today’s ministry of immigrants, and practical steps that can be indicated in response to the pastoral needs of newcomers. These steps include sharing of religious experiences stories across cultural groups, the formation of parish teams to pluralism and to the appreciation of diverse religious expressions, and several others.
