Jesuit Michael Czerny is one of the new cardinals. He was born in the old Czechoslovakia, but when he was two years old his parents took him to Canada.<\/p>\n
He is an immigrant now in charge of the dicastery for migrants.<\/p>\n
His pectoral cross is made of the wood from a boat used by migrants to cross the Mediterranean Sea to Europe. It is a wooden cross, like Jesus\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThat is how Jesus died and continues to die today. Therefore, the cross is an example of how He dies, but also of how He rises.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\n\u201cI was lucky to go to a very good Jesuit high school in Montreal. I admired the Jesuits who were teaching there. I said, I would like to live like they do, and to serve God, and to serve people. Develop my talents and see what good I could do, and so that's why I joined.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
