Exsul Familia (The émigré Family) is an apostolic constitution of Pope Pius XII on the topic of migration. It was released on 1 August 1952. The title of the document refers to the Holy Family, forced to flee into Egypt, taken as the archetype of every refugee family.[1] Drawing upon Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum, Exsul Familia presents emigration as a natural right.[2]
It has been called "the Church's Magna Carta for Migrants".[3]
