The text proposes to reflect on the challenges of the reception and the social integration from the perspective of the Pastoral of the Migrant, in the current context of the international migrations. To do so, in its first part it raises some observations on the current reality of the migrations, highlighting three characteristics: diaspora, precariousness and mixed migrations. From this framework, in its second part, it makes some questions about the conception of reception and social integration, and its application in relation to the migrants today. Finally, in the third part, it examines the challenges that the reception and social integration pose for the Pastoral Care of Migrants of the Catholic Church, in two aspects: ad extra, as a service to society and to migrants; and ad intra, as constitution of community of faith of and with the migrants inside the Church.
