No matter what your nationality, ethnicity or religion, you are welcome.

Refugee Resettlement

Catholic Charities Community Services is dedicated to helping refugees and other vulnerable immigrants who have fled their countries to escape violence and persecution. 

​Case managers, trainers, and job developers help clients access services, find work, and make a new home.

Refugees are admitted to the United States through an extensive vetting process. The US Government oversees the program through the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration and the Office of Refugee Resettlement. ​Learn more about the process of becoming a refugee.
