Stuffed animals are seen on top of coffins of children sitting alongside coffins of other African migrants Oct. 5 who drowned two days earlier trying to reach Italian shores in Lampedusa, Italy. Refugees and migrants pay the highest price in conflicts around the world and it is in the Catholic Church’s DNA to provide them humanitarian aid and prayerful support, according to speakers at a U.N. event Oct. 4.
