Neighborhood Refugee Ministry

During the last few months, several refugee families from Iraq, Burundi, Liberia and a few other African countries have been placed in housing less than a block from our parish. To help these refugees become acclimated to living in the United States, our parish has partnered with Catholic Social Services of the Miami Valley to offer English as a Second Language Classes every Friday from 3-4:30 p.m. Childcare and refreshments are also provided.

Because many refugees arrive in the United States with little to no extra clothing or household items, we also offer these items free to the refugees after each afternoon class.
