The Center for Migrants' Concerns - Central Taiwan (CMC-CT) was founded in 2003 by then the Migrants' Pastoral Team Ministry in the Diocese of Taichung. In 2005, Bishop Joseph Wang, then the bishop of Taichung, appointed Fr. Eliseo Napiere, MSP to take charge of the Center in the Southern part of Taichung Diocese and still carried out by the new Bishop, His Excellency Most Rev. Martin Su Yao-Wen.
CMC-CT is the social arm of the Migrants' Chaplaincy of St. Therese of the Little Flower of Holy Cross Church, Changhua City. Act as a Church-based NGO whose main focus are:
= assistance to migrants and new immigrants in distress;
= para-legal assistance in labor related problems;
= shelter the distressed migrants;
= on-going formation program for migrant workers and immigrants;
= counseling;
= advocacy;
= networking;
= research; etc.

The Instruction Erga migrantes Caritas Christi will be the basis of our considerations. This Document presents us with the tasks that the Church undertakes regarding migration, subdivided into different levels. In the first place, I must affirm that she wishes to be present wherever migrants are found, in order to share their joys and expectations, their pain and suffering. The Church is certainly present to offer human help and social solidarity, to defend them (advocacy) in case their rights are at risk, but she is present, above all, by means of its pastoral care, starting with preparation at their departure. The Church is therefore called to help potential migrants (cf. EMCC, no. 96) prepare themselves to face life in a foreign country. In fact, it is important that they are provided with the correct information about the States where they are bound to live, regarding laws, legislation related to work, customs, religious traditions, democratic conditions, etc. When a person decides to emigrate, the Church of origin should therefore give advice about the country of destination, in view of the future pastoral, social and legal assistance.
