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.
If you are interested in helping with this
ministry, please call the parish office for more information (937-224-8555).
