The Refugee Resettlement Program of Catholic Social Services
“… Jesus was a refugee, he had to flee to save his life, with Saint Joseph and Mary… The number of these brother refugees is growing … forced to leave their homes in order to save their life … Let us be their neighbors … and take concrete steps to reduce their suffering.” – Pope Francis
Today, there are over 65 million refugees throughout the world, fleeing religious persecution, torture and execution, war, famine and poverty. They are our brothers and sisters, seeking a safe haven, a new place to call home. Catholic Social Services (CSS) has heeded the call of Pope Francis to “Share the Journey” through its Refugee Resettlement Program by welcoming 84 refugees from over 2 dozen families representing 13 different countries that are suffering from this humanitarian crisis.
Will you stand with us in welcoming them? Contact us here to find out how you can help.
How You Can Help
Volunteers
Volunteers welcome families, provide resources and so much more.
Food and Clothing
Food is one of the most basic needs.
Financial
We receive only $1,125 per person. This is not enough to start a new life. Please help by making a donation.
Housing
Families arriving need a home to call their own.
Emergency Needs
Refugees coming to the US have nothing. Help us provide the basics: Food, shelter and clothing.
Logistical Help
Catholic Social Services is gathering supplies and materials. We need storage and transportation.
Housewares
Refugees arrive with nothing. We seek items to help them settle into a new home.
