Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their families, homes, and
countries because of racial, religious, or political persecution. In many cases,
they have fled to save their lives. They seek freedom here in this land of liberty. Refugees arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs.

Migration and Refugee Services resettles refugees from all over the world by providing basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing and education.

For thoserefugees who do not have family in the area, Catholic Charities becomes that family, coordinating and overseeing community resources through its wide
network of programs and services.

The goal is to help refugees in our Migration and Refugee Services Program who are eligible to work and looking to become self-sufficient through employment in the shortest time possible.
